Cycling around Wales in the Mawddach Cycling Trail

If you want to spend quality time with your family while still traveling around the beautiful country of Wales, try out the Mawddach Cycling Trail - One of Snowdonia National Park’s most flexible and accessible trails. This trail is the most magical family bike ride in Wales – if not Britain. This cycle trail starts from Dolgellau, passing various stunning places, and ends at the beach at Barmouth, with Cader Idris and the Rhinogs rise on either side.

The 9-mile trail follows the southern shore of the Mawddach estuary—one of the National Park’s most abundant areas in terms of wildlife and history. At the end of the trail, you will be able to witness the estuary spreads and winks in the sun, while birdlife twitters at wildlife in the reserves – all as the miles slip by on the smooth tarmac.

This trail is loved by everyone who has tried it out, as it is suitable for people of all abilities. The trail’s wide and even surface makes it a perfect choice for wheelchair or off-road mobility scooter users. It is also possible to join the trail from several locations, so those who would like a shorter, more gentle stroll along the estuary can still join.
