Cycling in Wales

Wales offers incredible variety for cyclists of all levels, from serene country lanes to adrenaline-fuelled mountain trails and offers culture, scenery, even food and drink distinctly different to England despite being next-door neighbours.

The peak season runs from May to September, when the weather is generally mild and days are long, perfect for exploring. Spring and early autumn also reward riders with fewer crowds and vivid landscapes.

For adventure cyclists, the Traws Eryri (Trans Snowdonia) route is an unforgettable challenge. Over 4,000m of climbing, rugged forest trails, and sweeping mountain views reward perseverance, while the Sarn Helen and Coed y Brenin trails offer exhilarating descents. Long-distance riders on Land’s End to John o’ Groats pass through scenic Welsh highlights such as the River Wye and Tintern Abbey as well as Wales’ only vineyard.
