Sometimes, you’ve just got to do what you’ve got to do. After finishing a ride at the top of Snowdon, the next challenge naturally presented itself – Snowdon to Land’s End.
Don’t forget, all of our events are bespoke, that means anything you see on this page can be adapted to your requirements.
‘The amazing coordination and care you showed us all, the technicalities and difficulties in pulling all this together was certainly not lost on me and I am truly impressed with the detail and quality of support you put into things.’ – Mark, Snowdon to Lands End MTB
This route offers plenty of flexibility and isn’t limited to the example shown here. In the past, we have completed this ride using multiple different routes. The options are endless, what you’ll find below is simply a typical itinerary.
The route can be done as a whole over 6 days or divided into 2 sections – Wales and England. Mountain biking from Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon through Snowdonia and Brecon National Park, to Swansea as Part I. Part 2 was from Ilfracombe to Lands End along the Camel Trail, the Bissoe Trail and parts of the stunning South West Coastal Path.
Cyclists make their own way to Llanberis to register with the pie team on arrival, followed by dinner and a briefing.
After a hearty breakfast, we make our way over the Snowdonia National Park, whilst trying to spot the peak of the highest mountain in Wales, Snowdon. We make our way south towards the large man-made reservoir Llyn Trawafynydd before reaching Coed y Brenin, the UK’s first and largest dedicated mountain bike trail centre. After this stop, we head towards our accommodation for the night north of Machynlleth. Dinner will be served at the hotel, or in a local restaurant.
We start the day by cycling through the Cambrian mountain range toward’s Devils Bridge Falls. The undulating route follows forest trails and gravel paths throughout the day. You will also be cycling up and over the iconic Devil’s Staircase, where the route has a gradual decent into the village of Llanwrtyd Wells where we will be staying the night.
The final day in Wales takes you through the Brecon Beacons National Park towards Swansea. Compared to the previous day’s rides, today will seem a lot easier with a gentle descent into Swansea as the route flattens out. After your final meal in Wales, you will be transported to Ilfracombe to your accommodation for the night, where you can dream of England’s green fields.
Part 2 (if it is divided up into 2 sections)
After a lovely Devon breakfast, you set off from the harbour town of Ilfracombe riding along the coast towards Barnstaple. This is a hilly start to the day which flattens out as you cycle along the South West Coast Path. There are more hills as you get closer to Bude where we will spend night.
Today is the longest day as it skirts around the edges of Bodmin Moor. The route will take you along the aptly named Camel Trail, which hugs the Camel River, offering a wonderfully scenic route. In the evening you will be staying in the surf capital of Cornwall, Newquay.
You start the final day ride heading towards Truro. After this you will pick up the Bissoe Trail towards your lunch stop and a traditional Cornish pasty. As Penzance and St Michael Mount draw closer, so does the finish at Lands End. In the evening we will hold a celebration meal where friends and family are welcome to join you to toast your achievements.

Jason Bacon16/09/2026My 9th PIE organised cycle challenge for the 40tude charity. Another spectacularly organised PIE ride. The way the team and guides handled and responded to all the surprises and challenges thrown their way, making everything smooth for us punters was extraordinary. And very much appreciated. The most professional and friendly group of tour managers, support team and cycle guides. Well done to the whole PIE team and Paul & Tina. You are simply the best.Posted on Google
Greg Martin16/09/2026Event team did a great job coping with air traffic meltdown in the UK, storms in Slovenia and road closures from visiting diplomats. accommodating, feeding and moving over 30 people on a daily basis is no easy task and they do it very well! Kudos to Paul and team.Posted on Google
James Purves16/09/2026This is probably my 6th rode with pie. They always have things organised and when something isn’t quite right it is fixed quickly and with lots of communication. Paul and the team were brilliant in Slovenia with us all. When you are cycling and out of your comfort zone the last thing you want is to worry about the logistics and pie do that all for you. Thanks And see you soon at the next ride!Posted on Google

Daniel Osmer27/07/2026I've just completed my second 4-day group ride managed by pie. Again, it was a fantastic experience. The 3 person pie team - a trip co-ordinator, ride guide, and on-bike medic - were all top professionals as well as great fun. It was another great trip which the whole team enjoyed. I highly recommend pie.Posted on Google

Whether Medical, Portering, Providing Food (paying attention to dietary requirements) and Drink (morning coffee, regular rehydration electrolyte tabs, soft drinks at lunch, alcoholic beverages at the end of the day - if you like that sort of thing), excellent hotels & restaurants, - all needs catered for. Staff - highly sympathetic & empathetic - who convert a steep hill into a mere undulation. All staff were immaculately turned out in identical uniforms. Bike maintenance - Brilliant Route planning - beautiful lanes, B roads, cycle paths - superb routes. Overall - excellent management throughout, with high empathy and support for all participants (including a cat!!).Posted on Google
