    Road cycling

    The climb up to Bwlch-y-Groes from Llanymawddwy is a tough one. It is about 3.4 km long and has about 387 m of vertical ascent to get to the gap at 546 m above sea level. You will have an average gradient of 11.3% to grind away at, but you will be rewarded with fantastic views north and south.
