Derwen Blue

About Derwen Blue

The Derwen blue trail climbs a steeper bank before taking in a longer, faster descent that will have you pumping and whooping all the way to the valley bottom.

The blue route is also a stepping-stone to the steeper and more technical red Gorlech route.

How to get there: Byrgwm is located on the B4310, two miles north-east of Brechfa village. Follow the A40 between Llandeilo and Carmarthen and take the B4310 towards Brechfa village.

How to get there:

Derwen Blue can be started from Byrgwm Picnic Site in Brechfa. Abergorlech, Llandovery, Llandeilo, Brechfa, Llanybydder, Pumsaint, Llansawel, and Rhydcymerau are the nearest towns or villages.
