The Nantlle or Drws Y Coed climb is a Snowdonia classic and a Strava segment to boot. It is logged on Procycling.uk as one of the top 7 Welsh high passes to do. It has 153m of height gain over its 4.3km length coming from Nantlle.

Whilst it is a stiff climb in places the scenery is fabulous all the way from Nantlle passing the peaks of the iconic Nantlle ridge, including Mynydd Drws Y Coed itself. This is a ride not to be missed.
