Park at Rhyslyn and use the cycleway to Afan trails as a useful warm up before hitting the climb or Penhydd or Y Wal

An epic ride to climb one of the most scenic vistas in the Southeast Valleys of Wales. ... This route is brutal. It's long. It's hard. It can break your soul.

Check out the Afan Valley Bike Shed - great helpful staff and they sell a selection of souvenirs - tees, hoodies, mud guards & stem caps (always good to support the local shop).

Melincourt Falls (Sgwd Rhyd Yr Hesg in Welsh) seemed to be one of the unsung waterfalls in an area of South Wales known as Waterfall Country. I suspect the reason why this falls wasn’t as well known as the others was that it was not part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Actually, it was in its own reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales towards the head of the Vale of Neath. So I’d imagine it kind of fell off the radar for most of the literature let alone tourist itineraries! When I saw the 80ft (24m) waterfall in person, I was quite surprised at how similar looked to the nearby Sgwd Henrhyd!! One that you can also walk behind unknown to most.

Is this suitable for road bike? Or hybrid/MTB?
