Lon Las Cymru Cycle Tour

This Lon Las Cycle tour will have you fit by the end of it! Over the course of your 8 day holiday cycling the length of Wales from Anglesey to Cardiff, you’ll have covered 273 miles and seen plenty of the rolling, green Welsh countryside. Accommodation and meals are included, and you needn’t worry about lugging any bags – they’ll be transferred to your next night’s base by the team.

The Lon Las Cymru Cycle trail covers 250 miles from tip to toe of Wales. Starting in Holyhead, Anglesey, the trail traces a rewarding path through Anglesey, Snowdonia, the magnificent Welsh coast line, the beautiful Wye Valley, Brecon Beacons all the way to the cosmopolitan waterfront of Cardiff Bay. The beauty of the Lon Las Cymru trail is that it covers most of the highlights of Wales whilst keeping you on quieter country lanes - perfect for cycling.

You’ll journey from the north of the country down to the south and take in a staggering mix of scenery and sights in between. Ride across the 19th-century Menai bridge, stop off at Portmeirion – the Italianate village where the cult film ‘The Prisoner’ was shot, and conquer the hilly landscape of Snowdonia National Park. In fact, on this eight-day tour, you’ll journey the entire length of Wales, and you’ll get to see quite a few spectacular vistas on your way – not least arriving at Cardiff Bay on the last day.

The team who run this tour has graded this trip as strenuous. That means, basically, you’ll need to be pretty fit to last the distance – and enjoy the days rather than sweating profusely and tailing behind. The team has also suggested this one would suit families with teenagers – so all that excess energy can be put to good use. That’s of course if your teenagers aren’t the kind who prefer to lie about on the sofa playing computer games. If you choose the guided option, you'll be travelling in small groups of four to eight people, so you should be comfy spending time with others. If you go for self-guided, you'll be provided with the itinerary, accommodation and baggage transfer but the rest will be up to you.
