Most of the land in the Eryri National Park is privately owned. Access using a bicycle is only allowed on specific paths and routes.

Access for off-road cycling and mountain biking

Many paths and routes in Eryri National Park allow access for off-road cycling. However, it is helpful to familiarise yourself with the rules before heading out on your trail.

You can use the following types of paths for off-road cycling:

  • bridleways
  • restricted byways
  • byway open to all traffic
  • designated cycle tracks and routes

It is important to note that:

  • Public Footpaths are for pedestrians only
  • On open access land there is no right of access with a bicycle without the landowner’s permission, except where an existing bridleway or restricted byway crosses the land
