Byway at Ty'n Cornel in Cwm Doethie Fawr, Ceredigion
Ty'n Cornel is a former YHA hostel, now very efficiently operated by the Elenydd Wilderness Hostels. Link
The track is a former drove road between Abergwesyn and Llanddewi-Brefi. The hostel is at an altitude of about 320 metres (1050 feet) so being enveloped by cloud is a regular and frequent occurrence.
It is five and a half miles (8·84 km) as the red kite flies between the hostel and the church tower in Llanddewi-Brefi. It is nearer seven miles by road!

This old drovers' route linked Abergwesyn with Llanddewi Brefi. It is now an unsurfaced byway open to all traffic, but often eroded by convoys of "off-roaders".

The drove road ran from Llanddewi Brefi to Abergwesyn via Cwm Doethie Fawr, Cwm Camddwr and Cwm Tywi. Nowadays it is a byway "open to all traffic", but in practice it is only passable by some farm vehicles, and four wheel drive "off-roaders" whose convoys contribute a lot towards erosion which can become catastrophic. The descent to Soar-y-Mynydd is rocky, loose and steep.
