Cardiff
Caerdydd
A capital city built around a runnable river. The Taff Trail links parkland, the Bay and the hills to the north into one connected network, almost all of it traffic-free.
Where to run in Wales, region by region
Where to run in Wales, area by area. Cardiff is written up in full; Gower, Pembrokeshire, Eryri and the Bannau Brycheiniog are still being run and are marked as such.

Pembrokeshire
Sir Benfro
Britain's only coastal national park. The path is runnable almost end to end, but the cumulative climb over a full day is closer to mountain running than the sea-level profile suggests.

Swansea & Gower
Abertawe a Gŵyr
A city prom and parkland running network that runs straight into nineteen miles of cliff path, common land, dune systems and salt marsh - all without needing a car.
Coming soon
Eryri
The biggest, roughest and most committing running in Wales. Rock underfoot, weather that turns inside an hour, and more genuinely mountainous terrain than anywhere else south of Scotland.
Coming soon
Bannau Brycheiniog
Long grassy ridges and steep escarpments made for covering ground. Some of the most runnable high terrain in Britain - and some of the most exposed, with almost no shelter once you are up.

Clwydian Range
Bryniau Clwyd
A tidy north–south chain of heather-topped hills with Iron Age forts on them, Offa's Dyke Path along the spine, and far fewer people than the mountains an hour west.

Cambrian Mountains
Mynyddoedd Cambria
The great empty middle of the country. Few paths, fewer people, and terrain that demands genuine navigation - the closest thing Wales has to remote.
