Following the famous Heads of the Valleys road and its surrounding back roads, this route traces the northern rim of the South Wales valleys. Former industrial heartland turned green riding country, with big views and surprisingly good roads.
Every road worth riding in Wales.
Hand-picked by a local who’s ridden them all — GPX files, turn-by-turn notes, fuel stops, and the pubs actually worth stopping at.
