Adventure Cycling in Wales

Cyclists in Wales are spoilt for choice with on
and off road trails prefect for adventure cycling
holidays. The traffic-free routes and gentle
slopes of the back roads take cyclists through
breathtaking landscapes and coastal paths. The
National Cycle Network trail, runs along the
seaside shoreline (North Wales Coastal Route 5)
from Colwyn Bay to Prestatyn, is regarded as one
of the best cycle routes in the whole of the UK
for all abilities. The route is traffic-free and
well surfaced - there are two short climbs at
Llanddulas.

This is an open, coastal route which can be quite
windy at times. If you are going to cycle there
and back it is best to cycle into the wind at the
start while you are fresh and have the wind help
you on the return journey.   If you wish to
venture out and explore on your bike, then try
and stick to the tracks marked as bridleways on
the Ordanance Survey maps and cycling lanes.
Avoid footpaths that are not designated cycle
routes or you will spend more time walking than
riding, due to the shear amount of foot traffic.
Out of season, October-March has fewer tourists
walking the streets and you can find it easier to
ride around, and take in the surroundings.
