The mountain bike guide to The Valleys of South Wales, The Gower Peninsula & Lower Wye Valley - Nick Cotton
From the dazzling sweep of the white sandy beaches of the Gower to the glory of the changing autumn colours in the Wye valley, from the network of the canal towpaths, dismantled railways and forestry tracks in the vast swathes of Forestry Commision land to the unspoilt ridges between the old mining valleys, South Wales offers a huge variety of all terrian mountain bike rides to suit every ability. As the area comes to terms with the demise of the coal industry, opportunities are opening up for the development of a network of tracks and trails linking valley with forest and town with countryside. The Taff trail from Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil shows what can be done if there is sufficient willpower.
The guide features a comprehensive fold out map based upon Ordnance Survey data from four Landranger maps, clearly showing all 21 rides and their relationship with one another. Now you can easily plan the time you have more effectively, riding this diverse and historic area.
