Linking up

The National Cycle Network in Wales offers many opportunities for travel, discovery and play.

Improving connections between rural communities and the National Cycle Network is vital to local economic development, health and wellbeing.

The Linking Up project aims to improve the links between the existing National Cycle Network and 8 rural communities across Wales. These new links will provide opportunities for local people to access jobs, services and tourist destinations using active transport.
