The Celtic Trail is a green trail in South Wales that starts to Swansea, the most famous coastal town in the area.
These are two distinct rings, the Celtic Trail West and the Celtic Trail East, which develop respectively west and east of Swansea. You will almost always pedal on well-marked cycling tracks that are part of the national cycling routes and often also on bicycle and pedestrian paths.
In principle you always stay on flat areas, there are only a few and short climbs with a challenging slope
Wales is a beautiful green land that lends itself perfectly to the Eco-sustainable tourism of cyclotourists. Finding refreshment and a suitable place to spend the night is never a problem because the small local towns are well-equipped and very friendly with the tourists. Along the way you continue to move between the sea and the country and the landscape is always very pleasant.
Every day you can do short stages of up to 50 km, at the and of which you are in the center of a small country village with the characteristic Anglo-Saxon houses of red bricks or gray stones with a green meadow and maybe some Beagle on watch. Between each other, only meadows and fields, tractors, men at work, cows and calves in quantity.
In many of these villages there is a strong medieval atmosphere often emphasized by the particular architecture of the local church, as in the case of St. David’s.
Even in smaller countries are always present pubs, real social centers of the community, equipped with at least half a dozen different beers.
The sea is the other main component of the route: white beaches closed by imposing cliffs that shine brightly lit by the sun.
