Accommodation on the Lon Las Cymru cycle route.

Lon Las Cymru runs down the whole length of Wales for 250 miles from Holyhead to Chepstow or Cardiff. It is one of the toughest of all the long distance cycle route. It follows a mixture of roads and shorter traffic free sections. The route follows the spine of Wales from north to south taking in the best of Snowdonia, Mid Wales and the Brecon Beacons before arriving in the capital, Cardiff or for the more rural option finishing in Chepstow on the Welsh/English Border. The route takes in quite lanes and family friendly off road cycle paths and takes you over the three mountain ranges of Snowdonia, The Cambrian and the Black mountains. National Cycle Network route 8 takes riders the whole way from Cardiff to Holyhead whist those starting or finishing on the Welsh border use NCN route 42.

On the second night there are bunkhouses available in Three Cocks, Bwlch and Glasbury-on-Wye or a cute cabin in Erwood with first day distances ranging from 47 to 75 miles.
