This two-day route links the peaceful Cothi Valley with the exposed high moors of the Cambrian Mountains, giving you a varied ride with long climbs, sweeping descents and far-reaching views. It’s a moderate route suited to riders with good general fitness, offering quiet back-roads, remote landscapes and the chance to visit a highwayman’s hideout and a hidden waterfall pool. Distances are manageable, but the exposed sections and elevation make it feel like a proper adventure.
Wild swimming spots, tranquil lanes and wide moorland vistas give this short trip a strong sense of solitude, while the overnight stay in Tregaron provides a comfortable break between two rewarding days in the saddle.
This is a self-guided route, with detailed navigation, full kit provision and backup support on hand should you need it.
This ride takes place entirely on tarmac, using quiet rural lanes, mountain roads and exposed moorland crossings. Expect long, gradual climbs with occasional steeper ramps, followed by extended descents into deep valleys. With no cafés or shops for long stretches, the landscape feels remote and peaceful throughout.
