Whatever the weather Wales by bike
Wales landscape counts among the most beautiful areas of the entire United Kingdom. Most of its territory has been declared protected and some national parks have been created. The National Cycle Network comprises about a thousand miles of cycleway and the roads in Wales are rather quiet. People who decide on exploring Wales on two wheels should opt for a good mountain bike since many roads, notably those on the coast, can be quite stony.:
Especially anglers will be pleased to find many beautiful small rivers of crystal-clear water. You can pack away your fishing pole in a bicycle bag and stop your bike to fish wherever you feel like to. The prey can be served for dinner around a romantic campfire afterward.
A must-see in Wales are the Bodnant Gardens near Conwy. A huge greenhouse is standing in the middle of this gorgeous botanic garden which can be visited from March to November.
Traveling by bike
A journey by bike should be well prepared. There is a huge choice of bikes online and all the equipment that is needed if you decide to carry your luggage with you. Many beautiful campsites in the middle of wonderful gardens or on the shore await campers in Wales. In the first week of August there is the so-called National Eisteddfod of Wales, a festival of literature, music and performance. The number of visitors usually exceeds 150,000 people and the location alternates between north and south Wales every year. If you want to explore Wales you also shouldnŐt miss its cultural center Cardiff and the second biggest city Swansea. But the main reason to visit Wales is definitely its picturesque landscape and colorful gardens!
