Overview

Seven nights; seven days of cycling across Wales’s upland moors, river valleys, castle towns, and regions rich in Celtic history. The route was spectacularly beautiful and offers moderate to challenging cycling on mixed paved surfaces, with steady climbs, rolling terrain, and some easier miles on former railway paths.
