Idyllic but occasionally quite steep climb along the Afon from the valley of Cwm Hengae. You cycle here almost alone on an immaculate but narrow tarmac road, perhaps meeting the occasional cyclist. Forest and ferns at the bottom, empty and steep towards the top, but there gurgling waterfalls and beautiful views await you.... read more

Idyllisch maar af en toe behoorlijk steil klimmetje langs de Afon uit het dal van Cwm Hengae. Je fietst hier vrijwel alleen over een onberispelijk maar smal asfaltweggetje, misschien kom je nog een enkele fietser tegen. Onderaan bos en varens, naar boven toe leeg en steil, maar daar wachten je klaterende watervalletjes en prachtige vergezichten.
