Motorcycling in North Wales
North Wales is infamous for it's superb roads for
Motorcyclists. Unfortunately also it has become famous for a high police
presence and campaign targeting motorcycles - This has been due to the
increasing number of RTA's involving motorcycles of recent years. That said,
if your bike is legal and you are not riding in a manner which is inviting you
to be pulled over, you will find some fantastic places to tour in North Wales.
North Wales's only race circuit is situated in
Anglesey, click here for further information on

roads are not enough for you! Anglesey boasts 24 award winning beaches, so if
you fancy a dip in the Irish sea you have plenty of choice! It is also famous
for the village of Llanfairpwlgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilliogogogoch.
