    Tips

    April 14, 2025

    Climbing Gospel Pass northwards from Capel-y-ffin takes you over Wales' highest paved road at 549m through stunningly remote Black Mountains scenery. Prepare for steep initial ramps hitting 15% or more shortly after leaving the hamlet, before the gradient eases into a long, steady drag across the high moorland plateau. Be prepared for a rough, potentially potholed single-track road surface requiring caution. The wild beauty and panoramic views are immense, but check conditions and access to Capel-y-ffin beforehand.
