Cycling in Gower

What a great way to see the Gower countryside on a dry day! Gower roads can get busy during the height of season and there are no bicycle tracks, so don't forget your cycle helmet!

Local Cyclist Touring Club
The chairman of the local branch of the Cyclist Touring Club says:
"We have regular cycle rides on Wednesdays and Sundays offering both easy and moderate rides and we would welcome cyclists who are visiting the area on holiday to ride with us. We tend to cycle the quieter roads which visitors to the area perhaps would not know and of course cycling with a group can offer more safety and a sharing of local information".
