Embark on a challenging touring cycling adventure with the Pont Briwet & Harlech Castle loop from Porthmadog. This difficult 20.9 miles (33.6 km) route takes you through Eryri / Snowdonia National Park, featuring significant climbs totaling 1666 feet (508 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in about 2 hours and 16 minutes. You will experience vast, sweeping seascapes and dramatic mountain scenery, with rocky outcrops and estuary views along the Dwyryd Estuary. The trail combines coastal paths with river valleys, offering stunning viewpoints over Harlech Beach and its pristine golden sands.
This touring cycling route is considered difficult and requires very good fitness due to its significant climbs and varied terrain.

This trail is best suited for experienced touring cyclists or those with electric bikes looking for a demanding ride.
One of the major highlights is Harlech Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site with a rich history and a classic
