870 Mile Wales Coast Path Opens

An impressive 870 mile long path that winds along Wales' picturesque coastline recently made its debut. The project took 5 years to complete, and was funded by the Welsh Government. The trail connects with the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail and creates a gigantic loop around the country. It is the world's longest circuit, totaling an astonishing 1030 miles.

While the entire route isn't ideal for cycling, there are many trail sections that are excellent for bike enthusiasts. They pathway also provides people with sections that are perfect for families with small children and those with limited mobility.

The Wales Coast Path promotes leading a healthy lifestyle by offering people a place where they can combine physical activity with breathtaking scenery; the trail represents much more to Wales than these two benefits, though. It connects residents and visitors to seaside communities and the country's rich cultural heritage.
