Description
Travelling at a leisurely pace Jack explores the Wales and the border counties taking in mountain summits, enchanted woodlands, wild seashores, shimmering lakes and ancient ways. Enjoy 36 rides with maps: * Ride on traffic free cycle tracks from the seashore into the heart of Snowdonia and the birthplace of British mountaineering. * Cruise from cove to cove along the stunning Pembrokeshire coast, on quiet lanes bejewelled with wildflowers. * Explore the ruins of the lower Wye Valley, from lost medieval villages to Roman remains, Norman strongholds and the aweinspiring Tintern Abbey. 36 specially selected rides with downloadable information. Graded from easy to challenging, with handmade maps, best pubs and tea stops, wild swims and finest viewpoints. Overnight stops, from B&Bs to camping under the stars. Most rides are accessible by train. Jack
