Machynlleth Golf Course Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

This main road out of Machynlleth heading south into the hills takes you past the golf course on your way to Forge, and is a gorgeous strip of tarmac, albeit a bit of a climb!

If you're heading into the town from the south, it's a reassuring sight as you near civilisation again after the remote 'Desert of Wales'.
