Before you go: ⚠ Single-track with passing places and gates — not a fast road, and unsuitable in ice

The legendary single-track crossing of the Cambrian 'Desert of Wales' from Tregaron to Abergwesyn, including the hairpinned Devil's Staircase. Drive it for the wilderness, not for speed — expect sheep, gates and no phone signal.
