Ride Details
This is an easy mountain bike route suitable for families and beginners. While there are narrow sections, these can be taken carefully and shouldn’t pose a problem. Keep an eye out for pedestrians, as this is a VERY popular route with walkers. You can start this route at either Beddgelert or Rhyd Ddu, or alternatively at the car park half way and take each leg separately. You can also combine this with the Bedwen or Derwen routes, especially if you wanted to start these waymarked routes while based at either Beddgelert or Rhyd Ddu.
The Lon Las Gwyrfai also crosses the Welsh Highland Railway in places and you could take your bike on the train and cycle this one way if you’re looking for something really easy.
