One of the most beautiful stretches of road in Wales or maybe the world, this valley from Abergwesyn to the well-known and much feared Devil's Staircase is an incredible place to ride your bike.

The area is looked after by the National Trust.

Stunning scenery, a great place to ride a bike in the summer. Can be a completely different experience in the winter though.
