The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path is a wonderful route for walkers to explore, though cyclists can also enjoy part of the route. However, there are many other walking routes and cycling routes to choose from.

Both national parks cater to a variety of entertaining outdoor pursuits such as cycling and mountain biking, walking and hiking, rock climbing, horse riding and watersports. The national parks are also home to diverse wildlife so visitors may be lucky enough to spot an array of Welsh wildlife during their travels.

There are also lovely coastal path walks for explorers to discover Wales’s coast over an extended period of time, such as the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
