Claerwen is a real beaut but you don't need to do it there and back again.There is a farmers bridge with potential no right of use, to stop you, but you can cross the river next to it to be correct.

So the only issue is the bridge not the actual lane?

If you have a look at the os mapping it shows the correct route. But if you don't fancy it, go and ask the farmer if its ok to use his drive/bridge. He's been absolutely fine when we have and thanked us for actually asking.
