Wales - Cymru Strategy

One of the aims of Ride UK is to provide a central location where people can find out about promoted riding routes. These might be long distance linear or circular routes and local community circuits. If you know of, or are planning, any such routes and they are not listed below, please let us know. We will add them to the list so that work is not duplicated! Email the BHS Access Office with details.

Another aim is to develop new routes to reflect the modern needs of riders. These include an exciting new National Trail that is being considered by the Countryside Council for Wales.
