Quiet Lanes and Gorgeous Views

 

Personally we stay clear of main roads and have worked out some really interesting rides, skirting the quiet backs streets of Abergavenny, winding through lost-in-time country lanes and visiting lakes, pubs, hidden cycle friendly cafes, and breathtaking mountain passes.

 

These range from a  1 hour blasts to all day tours.  After 9 years here we still return from rides marvelling at the beautiful cycling from the door.

Traffic Free Cycleways

​

We are right by the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal which links into a disused railway line and connects to a wider network of Sustrans routes (some of which are traffic free or virtually traffic free). 

​

There is a good cafe at around 45mins in each direction, and that involves passing several good pubs along the way.   There are options to hop off the canal tow-path and link into some very quiet lanes to help get variety.

​

One of our favourite rides ends up decending a very quiet lane back to The Neuadd and the variety of interest in the ride is remarkable, culminating with a really world class panoramic unbounded single track road section. 

​

Hill Climb on the Doorstep

If you simply can't wait for a hill climb then you can ascend almost 400m right from our entrance.  If you'd rather warm up then we have a 6Km 400m climb with a 15 minute level warm up from the door.  The climb is spectacular with switch backs and views and bit of drama.  

 

We have a collected recommendations for other hill climbs in the area.

Big Classic Rides

 

If you're a cycle athlete you'll probably know the reputation of the area and have some classics lined up. 

When you get back you can look forward to a relaxed environment with plenty of space to check the bike over and soak up more views.
