Cycling in Ceredigion: trails, lanes and mountain biking

Choose a Ceredigion cycle route

Ceredigion offers very different riding experiences: former-railway paths, valley lanes, steep road climbs and purpose-built mountain-bike trails. Choose by surface and difficulty as well as distance. The Ystwyth, Rheidol and Cardi Bach routes have distinct alignments; check a current map rather than assuming every section is traffic-free or suitable for the same bicycle.

Head for the hills

Bwlch Nant yr Arian is closely associated with Ceredigion mountain biking. The wider Cambrian Mountains offer a different kind of outing, with more remote terrain that calls for suitable experience and planning.

Plan around your pace

Allow for climbing as well as distance. Consult current route information, trail access and weather, and check local clubs or organisers directly if you want to join a ride or event.
