Much of the northern part of Lon Eifion is wide. Nearly all the path is tarmacadammed.

In summer there is a profusion of wild flowers along the track

Not only did Sheffield CTC member Tym Crowther receive a warm welcome at the Bryncir Arms during a ride along Lon Eifion, but so too did his folding Brompton cycle. Regrettably this hostelry has now closed. There is another popular inn a short distance away.

If you need to hire a bike, Beics Menai, adjacent to the castle and near the start of Lon Eifion, will fit the bill. Here Michael Money and his girlfriend, Louise Roberts, up from London for Easter, are hiring a tandem.
