Cycling

A long wooden bridge spans the upper reaches of the Alwen Reservoir, which features on the Two Lakes and Alwen circular cycle routes. It's absolutely covered in lichen and feels a little rickety as you ride along. Enjoy the remote lake views as you ride over this long, narrow bridge.

Mountain biking

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.

Hiking

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.
