Description by the author

If you only do one route in this part of the world, do this one! It has stunning and varied views all along its path. My favourite by a long way. No significant hills, as long as you go clockwise - so as to avoid having to go up the hill from Clynogfawr. Quiet lanes or cycle paths make up about 99% the route. Starts near Lon Eifion, taking in lanes to make a loop that goes South as far as Llanarmon and Pencaenewydd before returning, via Clynnogfawr, to the start. A really nice part of the country that isnt visited or explored by very many.
