Twm Tobacco's Grave

Highlight • Historical Site

Burial place of an unknown person. Was he a pedlar buried on the hillside where he died? Or a villain buried away from the church in un-consecrated ground?

Upper Arrow Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful quiet lanes in a secluded valley near the source of the River Arrow.

Tip by

38.1 km

Rhiw Fwnws Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A lovely route between the Edw and Arrow Valleys. A short sharp climb from the west, longer and gentler from the east.

38.1 km

Glascwm Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

By my reckoning it's about a 103m elevation gain, topping out at 392m, over a distance of a fraction over 1km - an overall 10% climb, with a short steeper section to test you out midway.

St David's Church, Glascwm

Highlight • Historical Site

An atmospheric well preserved medieval church in the beautiful upper Edw Valley.
