Description by the author

You can expect everything along this route: climbing, descending and beautiful spots to take a break! You'll be surprised by the imposing construction (Builth Castle). No need to worry. Not many places to stop for a drink along this route, but there are some. Certainly stop at Pen-y-crug before getting on the road again.
