Shrewsbury cycle rides

Looking for something a bit more challenging?
You might like to try one of the national cycle network (NCN) routes which run through Shrewsbury:
NCN Route 81 – Lôn Cambria
Runs from Aberystwyth to Wolverhampton and passes through the heart of Shrewsbury, along the river. Both Welshpool and Wellington can be reached from Shrewsbury on Route 81 for a pleasant return day ride.

NCN Route 44 – Six Castles Cycleway
Runs from Shrewsbury to Leominster via Craven Arms, Bishop’s Castle and Ludlow.

Route 44 - Shrewsbury > Leominster
NCN Route 45 – Mercian Way
Runs from Chester to Ironbridge via Upton Magna, near Shrewsbury. You can combine routes 81 and 45 to do a 36 mile circular ride Around the Wrekin.

Route 45 - Around the Wrekin
Route 45 - Shrewsbury > Whitchurch
Or you could combine a cycle ride with a train journey for a fun day out on your bike?
If you fancy catching the train to get to a bit of Shropshire you might not usually cycle in. Most of the market towns that you can reach by train from Shrewsbury have a leaflet of circular rides of a variety of lengths. Take you bike on the train and try out a ride from Wem, Whitchurch, Chirch Stretton, Craven Arms or Ludlow.
