Dyserth Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a nice little rest stop with a little shop if you need it. You can choice the easy way toward the flat roads and cycle paths or up the 12% with a right hand turn a rewarding long gentle down hill heading to the flat roads and cycle paths again and a view of the castle

Moel Arthur Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Moel Arthur is a cracking climb in the little-known Clwydian Range, a chain of hills in North-East Wales, along the same ridge as Bwlch Penbarras, also named by Simon Warren in his '100 Greatest Cycling Climbs' book.

The climb totals 1.4 miles (2.3 km) and is named after the ancient Iron Age fort at the summit.

Reaching gradients of up to 20% from the western ascent, it's certainly not what you'd describe as a steady climb. When you reach the top and stop for a breather it's all made worthwhile, with beautiful views down across the Wirral.

Bwlch Penbarras Climb from Llanbedr-Dyffryn-Clwyd

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A vicious climb from Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd which rises at 12% for 2km. Permanent climbing - and one bite will be sure to take any energy out of the legs.
