Lon Clwyd
Lon Clwyd is the name of a partially completed cycle route running South from the North Wales coast. It currently links Rhyl (where it joins National Cycle Route 5) to Rhuddlan,[1] but has not yet been extended to communities further south such as Denbigh and Ruthin.
Rhyl - Rhuddlan
[edit]A traffic-free route follows the East bank of the River Clwyd. It has a good surface but progress is hampered by gates constructed across the track which require frequent dismounting and remounting.
South from Rhuddlan
[edit]A cycle track does exist alongside the busy A525 to St Asaph. Further progress south is only possible on busy and fast roads. Denbighshire County Council did commission a route survey from Richard Broun Associates [2] in 1999 to create a safe traffic free cycle path largely using the track bed of the former Vale of Clwyd railway line but objections from landowners saw the plans dropped.
