Clwyds

Ride around here at least twice a month and there is some awesome riding to be had. The routes listed above are a good starter but these only scratch the surface,its worth getting a map and exploring or downloading a few routes of the interweb. Whichever route you try there will be a lot of climbing involved but this is always rewarded by great descents. The village of Cilcain is a good place to start from as there is a pub here and that's always a plus point.

What do you like?

Great variation of trails,awesome scenery

What could be improved?

remote and muddy

Would you recommend?

Yes
