Breaks in Wales

Wales’ whopping 1,400 miles of cycle routes that vary in length and difficulty are more than enough of an excuse to head to the west. “The Celtic Trails”, “Radnor Ring” and the “Carmarthen and Llanelli Loop” are just a handful of popular spots, but be sure to check out the sublime routes of Snowdonia.
