브레니히 저수지 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Though it was not a tough or technical ride, it did take me into territory I had never visited before and was a lovely antidote to the 'fleshpots' of Gwydir Forest or Coed-y-Brenin. Some lovely gentle singletrack, beautiful views and I didn't see another rider for the whole trip - although tbh I did set off at 08.30 on a Wednesday!!

This bridge across the 900-acre (364 ha) Alwen Reservoir enables a beautiful and tranquil loop of the Wales' largest artificial lake. The views across the water and to the surrounding woodland and hills are lovely.

Llyn Brenig is a reservoir located on Denbigh Moors in North Wales. The artificial lake, which was constructed between 1973 and 1976, was created by building an embankment dam across the Afon Brenig valley. It lies at 1,200 ft (370 m) above sea level on the border between the counties of Conwy and Denbighshire. It is used to manage the flow in the River Dee as part of the River Dee regulation system.

An easy ride for all abilities

An easy route for all the family to enjoy, although you might want to go int he warmer months of the year. It can be very wet and windy up here in the Winter.

Llyn Brenig is located at the heart of the Mynydd Hiraethog and is a good base for outdoor activities, including walking, cycling, fishing and sailing. It is a great spot for a break off the bike and the area is surrounded by a network of footpaths and a number of way marked trails suitable for biking and walking, including the Brenig Trail. The Visitor Centre provides toilet facilities and a cafe.

Here you have a super good section of singletrack as you meander your way through Gors Maen Llwyd nature reserve to the north of Llyn Brenig. You have fine views but don't let it distract you too much as walkers use this track as well.
