Bwlch Panoramic Viewpoint

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A great spot to ease the legs half way down the descent.... a fantastic vantage point, above the Bwlch road climb, offering riders an almost Alpine col like experience. From here you can see the road snaking across the tops and plunging downward to the valley towns below.

Mynydd Ton Forest Gate and Stile

Highlight • Rest Area

The entrance to Mynydd Ton requires riders to lift their bike over a forest gate or stile, thus making access for riders of limited mobility or riders with heavy e-bikes, very difficult.
