Mid Wales South Cycle Map

We are improving the National Cycle Network to make it more accessible for everyone. As part of our Paths for Everyone vision, some sections of the Network have been removed or reclassified. There may be sections within these maps that are no longer part of the Network. These sections are likely to be on busier roads and will suit more experienced cyclists.

Mid Wales South Cycle Map

This area map shows the National Cycle Network and local routes in this area. It covers the southern area of the Mid Wales region of Wales, Bulith Wells, Brecon, Rhayader and Carmarthen.

Sparseley populated Mid Wales is an ideal location for adventure if you want to get away from the crowds. The coastal areas around Cardigan Bay have great views out to sea, and the counties of Ceredigion and Powys afford some challenging gradients as well as some wonderful traffic-free paths. Aberystwyth is the hub of the area and a university town with links to many traffic-free routes, and the Elan Valley, known as 'the Welsh Lake District' is known for it's striking dams and reservoirs.

This pocket-sized colour map shows clearly mapped on-road and traffic-free paths, easy to read contours, and detailed inset maps for the major towns and cities as well as recommended linking routes connecting the NCN with quiet roads. The map also features 3 day rides with directions and a description of the area.

Please see our interactive map key for UK coverage of our pocket cycle map series.
