Welcome to Hooked on Cycling holidays and our cycling holiday in Wales. This biking vacation in Wales follows the wonderful Pembrokeshire coastline, sections of which are a national park. The region of Pembrokeshire is in South West Wales. This cycle tour is available as a seven night self guided level 2-3 cycle tour, meaning it is suitable for cyclists with some experience of cycle touring or fitter beginners.
Pembrokeshire is one of Wales most stunning regions , it is indeed Wales coastal national park. Although whale watching is possible along the breathtaking coastline you will most likely see dolphins and porpoises. In the north part of the tour Cardigan Bay is a permanent residence of these fabulous creatures, here you can take boat trips to explore the sea life. The coastline is also a haven for great bird life. Inland the national park opens to homes for badgers and otters although they can be particularly hard to spot. Not only will you cycle on safe cycle ways but also on minor country lanes as you take a circular route around the region.

Available each Saturday May to September
