Advice please: Llyn Brianne, Abergwesyn Pass, Devils Staircase and Tregaron.

Heading of up through Wales in 4 weeks with my Dad for our first father/son trip away. I have previously ridden around the Elan Valley and plan to do this again. But would really like to incorporate this area as well,

Whats the best route?

Is the road around Llyn Brianne a tarmac road ?

We are more than happy to ride very small lanes but Dad would not want to take his Pan on gravel roads.

Cheers,

James

James they are all single track and tarmac

Enjoy

I ususally do the route from Beulah to Aber and through the valley along the pass then up the staircase and follow the road to Llyn Brianne when I am heading for South Wales

If you are heading up from darn sarfff a must do is the military road after Brecon from Trecastle up to Tirabad

From there you can cross the A40 and get to Llyn Brianne and do the route up

When you get to Beulah there is a great back road that bypasses Llandrindod Wells and you come out south of Crossgates where there is a great cafe meeting point

Before getting up this far you could turn left and head for Rhyader and see the Elan Valley and all the routes around Claewern Reservoire

All tarmac and mostly enjoyable

Enjoy your trip

Dont forget the pics

the road on the east of Lyn Brianne is tar but not the track to to the west.There is a track(N) around the Claerwen Reservoir but it is easy gravel. Perhaps look at Tregaron-Beulah,Garth or Builth-Brecon,Tirabad-Llywel,A4069 Brynaman-Llandovery(bike cafe's) or any of the N-S roads to the east of that. Should be an easy day lap in that somewhere, but if you want more perhaps Devils Bridge or Gower. Hope that helps,and you enjoy my country. Anything else please ask will try to help. Paul.

Depending how far north you're coming a run around Lake Vyrnwy and the roads to the west are worth doing also.
