Rural Cycling on Anglesey

With its relative flatness and quiet lanes, Ynys Môn is ideal for recreational cycling. The signposted cycle tours established by Menter Môn in 1997 enable visitors and locals alike to enjoy the quieter rural byways.

On the island there are very few opportunities for 'off road' cycling, and so all the tours follow public roads or lanes, but avoid main roads as much as possible. Inevitably there is some climbing from time to time, but the effort is rewarded with views across the finest scenery.

The routes are designed to link places of interest. These include tourist attractions (such as Henblas Country Park and Llynnon Mill); sites of archaeological interest such as Din Lligwy; villages (for refreshments); and places chosen for their scenic beauty such as Black Point at and Bodafon Mountain.

Gyda'i wastadrwydd cymharol a'i lonydd distaw, mae Ynys Môn yn berffaith ar gyfer beicio difyr. Mae'r cylchdeithiau cyfarwyddiedig, cafwyd eu sefydlu gan Menter Môn ym 1997, yn galluogi ymwelwyr a pobl leol i fwynhau y mannau gwledig Môn.

Mae yna ychydig iawn o gyfleoedd i feicio oddi ar y ffordd fawr, felly mae'r cylchdeithiau yn dilyn ffyrdd cyhoeddus neu lonydd, ond yn osgoi y ffordd fawr mor aml a phosib. Mae yna ychydig o ddringo o bryd i'w gilydd, ond mae'r ymdrech yn cael ei wobrwyo gyda golygfaoedd godidog Fôn.

Mae'r teithiau wedi cael eu cynllunio i gysylltu mannau o ddiddordeb. Mae rhain yn cynnwys atyniadau twristiaeth (megis Parc Gwledig Henblas a Melin Llynnon); safleoedd o ddiddordeb archaeolegol megis Din Lligwy; pentrefi (ar gyfer lluniaeth); a llefydd sydd wedi cael eu dewis am eu harddwch golygfaol megis Trwyn du ym a Mynydd Bodafon.
