Lon Las Cefni
This cycle trail explores a lovely part of the Isle of Anglesey. The route runs for about 9 miles with some pleasant riverside trails, traffic free sections and a beautiful lake at the end of the ride.
You start off in the south western corner of the island at the village of Malltraeth.
The trail then heads north east along the Afon Cefni towards the market town of Llangefni. From here you continue north to the Dingle Nature Reserve. There's a nice tree lined boardwalk to stroll along here with various wildlife to see. Red squirrels, herons, buzzards and ducks can be seen on this interesting little trail.
From here you continue north to reach the finish point at the picturesque Cefni Reservoir. The reservoir has some pleasant woodland, waterside trails and lots of wildlife to see on the water.
Nearly 80% of the route is traffic free so is also suitable for walkers.
To continue your riding in the area you could follow the southern section of the route to Newborough Forest where there are miles of excellent coastal walking and cycling trails to try. The long distance National Cycle Route 5 also runs through the area and provides more signed cycling opportunities.

This track runs beside the route of the old railway from here to the bridge over the Cefni River
Disused railway bridge in The Dingle. The bridge carried the Llangefni to Amlwch railway. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe but industrial freight services continued until 1993. The railway's tracks have been left in situ, and local groups have demonstrated an interest in restoring services. Alternative proposals have been made by the sustainable transport charity Sustrans to use the route as a cycle path.
