Cycling

Cycling in West Wales is a great way to enjoy truly spectacular scenery.   There are lots of opportunities for on or off road, challenging mountain biking trails or gentle family rides along country lanes.

Ceredigion has designated routes such as the Ystwyth and Rheidol trails which are linked with the Sustrans National Cycle Network. Sections of the Ystwyth Trail are designed for leisurely cycling for all abilities.

The Forestry Commision has some wonderful mountain biking routes at nearby Brechfa Forest and at Nanty r Arian, a little further away near Aberystwyth. 

Ceredigion's Cycle Breaks Centres offer a range of different cycle routes in and around the towns of Cardigan, Aberaeron and New Quay plus Lampeter and Tregaron.  The waymarked routes are generally circular and are suitable for most abilities and ages and range from relatively short half-day rides to full day routes, visiting places of interest along the way.
