We’re in the process of writing a Strategic Cycle Network (WGSCN), which will link national and international transport hubs, key settlements and destinations across the region.

This network isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s designed to open up new opportunities for longer-distance cycling, whether for leisure, tourism, or easy access to services and developments in rural areas.

The regional strategy behind the WGSCN will provide a clear, high-level framework for a long-distance cycle network that increases regional connectivity. It will also work in harmony with existing local networks outlined in the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans, identifying key gaps and highlighting which cycle routes need improvement to meet modern design standards.
