South East Wales Cycle Map (12)

South East Wales Cycle Map

This area map shows the National Cycle Network and local routes in this area. It covers the South East of Wales, including Cardiff, Newport, The Valleys, and Brecon.

The South Wales Valleys were at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, and now many of the railways, tram roads and towpaths that carried raw materials have been transformed into beautiful walking and cycling routes. If you want action-packed cycling adventures combined with panoramic views, wildlife rich country parks and fascinating heritage sites, then the South East of Wales is the place to explore.

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.

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