The area at this point becomes slightly a rougher surface. It makes riding technical, constantly picking a decent ride line is essential and being alert. It is fun to ride on and satisfying at the end of the section.

There is a good cycleway on the cliff pass at the sea front edge of Penmaen-Bach 245mtrs. It is perfectly safe to ride on. There is also the main through road and a tunnel cutting through the cliff side.
