What if there were a way to explore this rural idyll without all the climbing?That’s the idea overdue Lon Teifi, which follows country lanes lanugo the Teifi Valley to the sea. The river, once known for its salmon fishermen in their tiny coracles, flows through countryside rarely visited by tourists.This is an enjoyable route, but a little deceptive in two ways. Firstly, although it largely follows the river valley, the lanes have a tendency to sprint up and lanugo the valley sides – so don’t expect a long, easy descent all the way to Cardigan. Secondly, it follows increasingly A and B roads than is normal for the NationalTrundlingNetwork. This is rural Wales, so they’re not exactly highly trafficed; but plane so, at times you might find traffic roaring past you at speeds greater than you’d expect.What sort of bike?The route is scrutinizingly entirely on roads and the occasional well-surfaced railway path, so hybrid bikes and road bikes are equally suitable. There is one muddy bridleway near Newport, but an easy diversion exists for those not of the mud-plugging persuasion.How many days?At 100 miles, this is two days for the fit cyclist, or three at a increasingly well-appointed pace.Increasinglythan most routes, though, there’s a strong specimen for taking four or plane five days over it and enjoying the towns en route. That way, the A and B roads will seem like less of a slog.How do I get there and back?Both Aberystwyth and Fishguard have railway stations, but it’s a very long way by train between the two – you’ll have to go when into England and out again! So don’t think well-nigh parking a car at the start and getting the train back; largest to do the whole lot by train. Is it suitable for a first-time tourer?Pretty much, unless you’re nervous well-nigh traffic. If you’re a municipality passenger looking for your first long-distance tour, you won’t encounter any issues. If you’d prefer something largely traffic-free, perhaps squint elsewhere.Where to start and finish?The route starts on the tailspin at Aberystwyth, touches it then at Cardigan, and finishes at the port of Fishguard. In other words, it’s the same value of climbing either way. Do what’s easiest for your there-and-back travel plans; we slightly prefer north–south as it gives a gentle descent lanugo the valley.
