Machynlleth to Caersws via Llanidloes and Staylittle

Machynleth to Caersws

This is very much the wild section of Lon Las Cymru, and is essentially one big mountain pass.

Riding to over 500m, the highest on-road National Cycle Network section in Wales, combined with the stunning views of Snowdonia from the Wynford-Vaughn-Thomas memorial and the way the route circles the hills above Llyn Clywedog, you can experience real escapism and solitude.

The route from Llanidloes to Caersws takes you away from Lon Las Cymru, but links nicely to the rail network.

For more information take a look at the Lon Las Cymru North cycling map.
