Byway in Cwm Doethie Fawr in Ceredigion Looking west-north-west towards Blaendoethie behind the barn, climbing from near Ty&#039;n Cornel hostel.
This former drove road ran between Llanddewi Brefi and Abergwesyn via Cwm Doethie Fawr, Cwm Camddwr and Cwm Tywi. Nowadays it is a byway &quot;open to all traffic&quot;, but in practice it is only passable by some farm vehicles, and four wheel drive &quot;off-roaders&quot; whose convoys contribute a lot towards erosion which can become catastrophic. The road is tarmacked after the entrance to Blaendoethie. Llanddewi-Brefi is about six and a half miles ahead by road, five miles by crow or red kite.

The bridleway shown on maps passing through the woodland on the left has been unsignposted (just past the road summit ahead) since the 1990s and does not exist as a track on the ground. The bridge across the river disappeared before that. There is no public route through Blaendoethie farm buildings.

Note: Standard private cars can usually drive with care down to Ty&#039;n Cornel hostel (behind the camera).
