Ford Crossing with Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The ford can be crossed using the footbridge. The road leading down to the ford from the old rail bridge side is steep. There is also access to a cycle path that runs alongside the river.

Bangor to Tregarth Railway Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Old railway path converted into a bike path. Goes from the South of Bangor down to Tregarth. The surface is compact gravel so perfect for even the fanciest road bikes. Nice to escape the roads for a bit.

Old Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The road down Steephill is closed at the bottom and there is no way through. Only go down if you want a very challenging climb back up!
