Slate Descent Path

Highlight • Climb

fast slate descent.

Nant Llwyn-Gwern Waterfall and Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

A hard climb this is, for sure - but it's all on good bridleways, and a better way of gaining height than winching up the road that runs parallel. Plus the views are astonishing!

Craig Rhiwarth Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A cracking descent which runs right into the village of Llangynog. It's a good track, with plenty of switchbacks, eventually passing through a beech wood and into the village.

Cwm Bychan Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

This is a great little cafe in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, very friendly and very welcoming to mucky cyclists and walkers!

Blaen Trawsnant Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Expect a relatively easy going, beautiful climb followed by a rip-roaring descent from Craig Berwyn. It can get boggy in winter, though.
