Path to the Wind Turbines

Highlight • Trail

On the way up, this is the point at which the gradient increases. Careful of the larger stones and loose gravel.

Awylyn Skyline Double Track

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A more picturesque route than heading straight up or down the main fire road to Glyncorwg, and an easier pedal upwards too...the gravel is (mostly) super smooth

From North to South (downwards) - Follow the signed "Skyline Trail" (on left, off main fire road) down the double track, and where Skyline turns off into "Grand Canyon" stay on the double track, views into the Valley below are excellent. There are a couple of poorly repaired sections, where larger gravel has been used, so take care when descending at speed.

When coming from the South to North (upwards) - Turn off right on the main fire road climb and stay on the double track fire road all the way up. The surface is super smooth and makes for an easier climb than the main gravel fire road up out of Glyncorwg to eventually make the Rhigos mountain road.
