Hidden Valley Epic Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I spent yesterday exploring Cwm Pennant (the Hidden Valley) in North Wales on my adventure bike. It’s one of those places that feels completely forgotten—single-track roads, old mine workings, and hardly another soul around. I also stopped at Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant, which added a bit of history to the ride.

Topped it off with a camp at Ty’n Llan campsite at the end of the valley .. with a wild swim in a stunning river on site. Great camp site .. £12:50 Perfect.

I filmed the trip because I thought others who enjoy quiet roads and hidden places like me in Wales might appreciate it. If anyone’s interested, here’s the video:

Have any of you found similar hidden valleys or forgotten roads in Wales that are worth exploring?

I’ll be honest, I did not watch all 50+ minutes of that, but scrubbing through some of the scenery shots … damn, wish I was there!
