Cycle Touring in Wales: A two-week circuit and shorter tours

Cycle Touring in Wales is your go‑to guide for exploring one of the UK’s most spectacular cycling destinations. Whether you’re planning a full two‑week adventure or just want a long weekend on the bike, this book has you covered with a 657‑mile circuit around Wales plus six cross‑country routes that slot in as day rides, weekend loops or shortcuts to build your own perfect tour.

Each route comes with clear directions, 1:200K mapping, gradient profiles and all the practical info you need to make your trip run smoothly. You’ll find advice on choosing a schedule, prepping your bike, packing (or not packing) your kit, and sorting accommodation and travel logistics. There’s even a cycle‑shop directory, a Welsh glossary and a handy checklist so nothing gets left behind.

The riding itself is classic Wales: mile after mile of rugged coastline, quiet seaside towns, rolling border country and a treasure trove of castles, chapels, industrial heritage and prehistoric sites. You’ll cruise through green valleys, skirt wild mountains, breathe in Pembrokeshire’s salty air and earn bragging rights on the highest road in Wales.

Whether you’re new to touring or a seasoned long‑distance rider, this guidebook makes it easy to plan, ride and enjoy an unforgettable Welsh cycling adventure.
