Get on your bike

Bike sales have soared as families find their love for cycling, and commuters find a new way to travel. While parks, beauty spots, and mountain walks are closed to the public, cycle paths have become a place to enjoy the summer weather with your family, escaping the four walls we’ve become accustomed to.

Bicycles have helped many of us through the pandemic, we have all adjusted to this new way of life in one way or another so if you’re planning on getting on your bike this week, discover these cycle paths near where you live.

The scenery high above the Clydach Gorge is simply stunning, this route travels between the village of Llanfoist and Brynmawr, with just one steep section. At only 7 miles long the picturesque trail has breathtaking views of the Brecon Beacons, Sugar Loaf and Skirrid Mountains.
