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.
Camping is not available on this route; all riders stay in B&B accommodation.
Meals are at your own expense, with recommendations provided. Breakfast is included at the B&B. Lunches can be café stops or packed lunches depending on availability, and dinner is always reachable on foot or by a short cycle. In areas with limited options, a table can be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.
Meet in Llandovery at 10am, dressed to ride with your kit packed into the provided dry bag. Bike setup and briefing take 1–1.5 hours. Expect to finish in Llandovery by 3pm on Day 2. If travelling by train, allow around two hours before onward travel. The start point is within walking distance of Llandovery station, with rail links via Swansea and Shrewsbury. Drivers can request advice on parking; vehicles are left at your own risk. Spare clothing can be stored until your return.
Rated Moderate, this route is suitable for riders with good cardiovascular fitness. Expect:
The modest distance keeps it achievable, but the exposed landscape and elevation give it a more challenging feel.
If you’re not cycling regularly, any steady riding helps—commuting, weekend mileage or spin classes will build comfort and endurance for the days spent in the saddle.
This short but rewarding route showcases the quieter uplands of the southern Cambrian Mountains, combining peaceful valleys, remote moorland and scenic mountain roads. With reliable B&B accommodation and all the equipment provided, it gives you the freedom to explore an atmospheric, less-visited corner of Wales without the logistical stress. It’s ideal for riders seeking solitude, varied terrain and a manageable but memorable two-day escape.
Begin in Llandovery with your bike setup and kit briefing before heading out along the Tywi River and turning toward the quiet lanes of the Cothi Valley. This first stretch is gradual and flowing, following the river toward Pumsaint, where a village pub offers a good refuelling stop.
From here the road rises steadily onto the Cambrian moors. As the tree cover drops away, the views stretch for miles across open upland. After cresting the high point, a long descent carries you into the lush Teifi Valley and on toward Tregaron, your stop for the night.
A steep climb early in the day brings you quickly back onto high moorland, where a short detour leads to a remote waterfall pool—an ideal wild swim spot if you’re brave enough for a dip. You then follow quiet roads to Soar y Mynydd, the most remote chapel in Wales.
Another rise leads you to the edge of Llyn Brianne Reservoir, offering some of the most scenic road riding in the area. After this the route trends downhill all the way to Llandovery, with the option to stop at the Gwenffrwd-Dinas Nature Reserve and visit Twm Sion Cati’s cave—the hideout of Wales’ legendary highwayman.
Pack light, as you’ll carry all your kit on the bike. A dry bag is provided.
Yes. A big part of bikepacking is travelling self-sufficiently. Everything you need fits into the bikepacking bags provided. Stick to the kit list, pack light, and you’ll be surprised how straightforward it is.
Carrying your own kit is part of what makes bikepacking so rewarding. We could move your bags for you, but it would take away the sense of independence and dilute the adventure. The challenge is part of the appeal, and most riders finish feeling proud of what they’ve achieved.
We provide Temple Cycles gravel bikes with high-quality components. They’re quick on the road, comfortable over rougher sections, and purpose-built for the type of mixed-terrain riding our routes involve.
You choose between B&Bs or camping.
We strongly suggest using the kit we provide. It’s chosen specifically for its low weight and packability, ensuring everything fits onto your bike. Bulkier personal gear often won’t fit.
There’s no strict maximum, but if your group is larger than eight, please contact us before booking so we can make the necessary arrangements.
Exact details vary by route and will be emailed to you beforehand. As a general guideline, please arrive at the start point in your cycling gear and ready for your briefing and bike fitting at 10am.
