    Hi together, I’m new in this place and a freshman concerning cycling in Wales, too. It would be great if you could help me to find a good starting point for discovering Wales by roadbike. May be there are also some special links in the w.w.w.  which you could recommend.

    I’m looking forward hearing from you a.s.a.p.

    Cheers from the Rhineland

    If you’re starting in South

    If you’re starting in South East Wales, then head to Abergavenny from Raglan or Monmouth, you can take in climbs of The Tumble or Llangynidr Mountain. Or if you prefer quieter roads and more gentle climbing take in Llanthony Abbey on the way up to the Gospel Pass overlooking Hay-on-Wye, with breathtaking views from the top.

    Would love to see some of those if that’s possible, especially with the Monmouth->Raglan quiet roads – just over the bridge and looking for more routes around there and Wye/Tintern .. cheers

    Your suggestion sounds
    Your suggestion sounds fabulous . Quiet roads (esp. tarmac), impressive views and nice cafes are exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot Welsh Boy!
    GPX files might be helpful and a pleasure.
    Do you know the northern part of Wales as well? At the end of my stay I will go further to Dublin by ferry from Holyhead.

    Wales is a big place, where are you looking to ride, what sort of terrain and distance?

    I will start off suggesting the Wye Valley area, start from Chepstow, follow the river up stream (the A466) through Tintern (nice cafe at the old railway station), from Monmouth through Mitchel Troy to Raglan, down to Usk and over Llangwm (B4235) back to Chepstow.  Roughly 40 miles, splendid scenery, quiet roads if you avoid the A40 and use the ubclassified roads between Monmouth and Raglan.

    Let me know if you want some GPX files for rides in this part of Wales.
