The online guidebook covers a structured multi-day journey through the mountainous spine of Wales — linking Cardiff, the Brecon Beacons, the Cambrian Mountains and Snowdonia (Eryri). Covering approx 225 miles (362 km), the route works with flexibility for 3–10+ days. It’s organised into 4 sections, unfolding from south to north. Cardiff & The Valleys – Cardiff Castle, Caerphilly and valleys (industry & railways) Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) – classic Welsh mountain scenery. Cambrian Mountains & Elan Valley – Vast reservoirs, quiet roads and wide skies in remote heart of Wales. Snowdonia (Eryri) & Conwy – Machynlleth, Dolgellau, Betws-y-Coed and the walled town of Conwy. Each section includes narrative introductions, route structure and time-based planning ideas. This self-guided trip helps you plan and explore at your own pace. With 12 months included, access begins from the selected booking date — choose a date that allows time for planning rather than your travel date.
