Route rating

Starting at Pontymoile we will ride the old railway line to Blaenavon and onto Brynmawr. The route then goes through the Clydach Gorge onto Govilon where we join the canal back to Pontymoile.

Suitable for Gravel, CX, Hybrid, Mountain and e-bikes. Ideally a bike with 35mm tyres and some tread. This route can be done on a road bike, but there are a couple of short sections where wider tyres will help.

There will be a café stop for refreshments.

First-timers welcome!
