Rheidol and Ystwyth Cycle Trails

Route 1 - Rhedol Cycle Trail: Aberystwyth is the starting point for this 17 mile route from Aberystwyth Harbour to Devil's Bridge via the Rheidol Valley. The ride is very gentle as far as the Cwm Rheidol waterfalls, but followed by a very steep climb up to the Devil's Bridge Road. There is an alternative ending to the route that leads to the old Rheidol Mines for the less energetic.

Route 2 - Ystwyth Cycle Trail: Currently being built, this route will be 21 miles long and link Aberystwyth with Tregaron. Some parts are open now - see the Route Guide.
