Steady Ride from Sea to Slate

**Breeze North Wales are delighted to be invited to be part of the Kendal Mountain Festival Tour, showcasing a collection of adventure films and speakers. We are co-hosting this ride with Kendal Mountain Festival and it’s a great opportunity for those new to Breeze, as well as our regulars, to join us on a ride on some of our favourite roads. **

Enjoy the beauty of Eryri on this steady ride starting from the sea at Caernarfon and going to the old slate quarries of the Nantlle Valley where we will visit the coffee roasting centre of Poblado, and enjoy their fantastic coffee. With mountain views as far as Y Wyddfa/Snowdon the scenery is amazing.
Starting from Coed Helen car park opposite Caernarfon Castle we will ride along the bike trail next to the Welsh Highland railway line (we might even see a steam train!) Turning inland through Penygroes on quieter roads we will find the Café in the old slate mine offices at Nantlle.
Returning by a different route we will head west through Penygroes towards the coast. At the main A499 we will ride the dual use bike track then take quiet lanes through Llandwrog and LLanfaglan returning along the beautiful coastal road of Yr FForydd to our start point .

The ride has no major hill climbs and is mainly on bike trails or quiet roads. It is suitable for all type of bikes including E bikes.
