Stage guide

Trawsfynydd to Betws-y-Coed

Slate country, forest riding, and a sociable arrival in Betws-y-Coed, with Penmachno and Gwydir nearby for riders adding trail-centre mileage.

Riding notes

Open upland tracks, lanes, forest sections, and village-to-village connectors.

Resupply: Betws-y-Coed has the strongest mix of shops, outdoor services, food, beds, and rail links.

Watch for: Ground conditions and navigation errors can make this stage slower than a road-distance estimate implies.
