Discover Mitch’s Favourite Local Ride

“When we moved to North Wales over 20 years ago, I spent countless rides exploring the stunning scenery around us. One of my absolute favourites remains the Welsh Coast Path from Prestatyn to Llandudno (about 25 miles). You’ll ride with the shoreline just metres away, passing through Abergele, Colwyn Bay, and Rhos on Sea before reaching Llandudno – and if you’re feeling adventurous, the climb up the Great Orme is a must for the incredible views.

What makes this route perfect for e-bike riders? It’s traffic-free, flat in parts if you want a leisurely ride with café stops, but can also challenge you if you fancy the Great Orme climb. You can make it as easy or as tough as you like, surrounded by the best of North Wales scenery.”
