Sarn Helen Roman Road
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Crossing over Nedd Fechan, and passing a series of caves nearby the water and the Maen Madog stone, this is a scenic and pretty remote dirt road across the Brecon Beacons.
It makes up part of the ancient Roman road named Sarn Helen, which runs from end to end of Wales linking Swansea and Conwy. Although much of its route is disputed, this is one of the parts that is better known.
