From the park, you drive through Denbigh to the Denbigh Moors. The climb out of Denbigh has a long stretch of 17%, and then follows the Road to Hell: over 11 kilometers uphill over a barren plateau full of heather, often with strong winds. The reward: Llyn Brenig and the Alwen Reservoir, with a dam that almost feels Scandinavian. Plan a stop at the Llyn Brenig visitor center; the restaurant has a beautiful view over the lake.
