Access

It is important to remember that most land in the Snowdonia National Park is privately owned and farmed, and that access is by Public Right of Way only.

For off-road cyclists, Rights of Way are:

• Bridleways - Cyclists must give way to walkers and horseriders.
• RUPPS - (Roads used as Public Paths) These are normally legally available to cyclists.
• Unclassified County Roads - These are shown as white roads on Ordnance Survey Maps, but, private roads are also shown in this way. Cyclists are advised to check their status on the definitive maps held by the Highway Authority.

It is important to note that:

• Public Footpaths are for pedestrians only.
• On Open Land there is no right of access without the landowner’s permission, except where a bridleway or RUPP crosses the land.

Please keep to Rights of Way. You will minimise disturbance to farmers and their livestock, wild animals, birds and plants.
