Old Road to Vyrnwy

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This used to be a road and there are a few sections of tarmac still remaining along the way. A smooth ascent from the north-east but a rockier descent towards Vyrnwy that would be a tougher climb. A much more fun alternative to the B4396 to the north if you're on a gravel bike!

Lake Vyrnwy and Dam

Highlight • Bridge

Park at the very top of the Lake if arriving in a car. Note that some sections can get closed due to rock falls at the top of the Lake near the Waterfall Car Park.
