Route 81 runs from Aberystwyth to Wolverhampton, with the section running through Wales called Lôn Cambria.
Lôn Cambria travels 113 miles from the coast at Aberystwyth to the historic border town of Shrewsbury, crossing the heart of beautiful Mid Wales through the Cambrian mountains and alongside the beautiful Elan Valley reservoirs to Rhayader.
With red kites soaring above, the route follows quiet lanes linking the picturesque market towns of Llanidloes and Newtown.
A final climb on the Roman Road over Long Mountain offers panoramic views before descending into Shrewsbury.
Please note there are some sections of Lôn Cambria between Welshpool and Shrewsbury that are not part of the National Cycle Network.
The route resumes between Shrewsbury and Telford, and is then open in sections between Telford and Wolverhampton.
