Cycling

Get on your bike and explore Southern Wales.  There's no excuse not to when you see what you can get up to.

There are the main national cycle routes running right through Southern Wales taking in some superb scenery and historic sites whilst there are countless more local routes taking you to almost every corner of the region.  Many of the routes are off road, making use of disused railway lines plus many of the quiet country lanes.

Of course, this being Wales, you wouldn't expect these routes to be entirely flat would you?  Just as well really, as our valleys and mountains inevitably mean some of the routes are a bit hilly in places, but don't let that put you off as the views will be worth it.

That's all very well and good, but what happens if you prefer something a bit more adrenaline packed.  Not to worry, we have Cwmcarn Forest with its two world class Mountain Biking tracks; one so challenging it's rated as extreme.  You have to be extremely brave (or foolish) to have a go at that.

Please remember that the information in this section is just a guide.  We've tried to make it as accurate as possible for you but we still suggest you check all routes and information before you set out.  If you are going to tackle one of these routes then please make sure you've got suitable clothing, maps and equipment and make sure your bike is in good condition as we want you to be as safe as possible.

More information on routes and and mapping is available on the Sustrans website
