Honey Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

Known by some as the first control on the Bryan Chapman Audax. Whether you're riding to Anglesey or not the Honey Cafe knows how to please a hungry cyclist! Tucked in away from the road there is plenty of space to leave a bike outside. Inside there is plenty of space and a varied menu. They are big enough to deal with groups of 20 or more but appreciate it if you call in advance!

The Tumble Climb from Govilon

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice long climb with a few steep sections. At the top it opens up to stunning views and a fantastic descent.

A word of warning though don't start out too hard as it's longer and steeper than it looks. However perfectly doable for most cyclists and worth it for the satisfaction and views at the top.

View of the Usk Valley from Bannau Brycheiniog Moors

Highlight • Viewpoint

An amazing view point and almost alpine descent. Ride over the top of the moors from the mining valleys and see the amazing green of the Brecon Beacons below. You can see the lakes and hills stretching out in front of you and then drop down into the landscape at breakneck speed! Good road surface and some switchbacks make for a fun time descending. You can climb up it of course but remember to look behind you to catch the view.

Talybont Stores & Canalside Café

Highlight • Cafe

Stop in this little cafe all the time when I am hiking or biking. In fact I think I have invested enough in the place to have a shares dividend, especially the amount of chocolate flap jacks I have bought here! If the place is full have a seat in the bus shelter across the road, it has its own library!
