P3- preseli mountains
Grade- hard- long climbs and tough off road.
Distance- 39kms
Highlights- My favourite ride over Preseli ridge. The views from the peaks are some of the best in UK. I ride it as a circuit that begins in the Llwyngwair Manor camp site. This is a good place to stay overnight. However, this circuit can begin anywhere along the minor road to Newport from Crymych. It needs to be done in an anticlockwise direction.
From the camp site head towards cardigan for 400 yds. Take a right turn onto a minor road then take the next right. The road undulates through narrow lanes with good views of Carn Ingli. There is a long hill up to the main road which take you up to the highest road point towards Haverfordwest. The small cark park is a good place to take a breather. Look west and you will see the off road path to the viewing point on Foel Eryr. The ride up is worth the stunning views. Come back down this hill. Plenty of fast small jumps! Cross the main road again and head east along the Gold road
The gold road heads east along well marked grassy tracks. after a stony track the dip can be quite wet and muddy when wet. The rest of the ride is dry. There are several peaks all with welsh names. The picture opposite shows the ridge.
Continue along the ridge, but don't turn up the steep hill to the right as this does not come back to the ridge but will end up in Rosebush.
Check the time that you want to return to your starting point. The one I have charted last for 2.30 to 3 hours. After this rocky crest rough ride to the farm house below and join minor roads to Crosswell. The ride can be lengthened by about 1 hour by finishing the ridge at Foel Drygarn and descending into Crymych town.. Good for a break and fish and chips! Cycle back along the the picturesque road to White church and head toward Newport home.

Turn West and follow the beach until you get to the red flags which indicate the start of the military fire range. At this point take the cutting through the sand ridge into the forestry. There is a maze of lovely forest trails you can now enjoy getting lost in until you get back to the car park.
