Did you know the average UK driver spends almost four years behind the wheel in their lifetime, with eight months of this waiting in traffic? That’s a lot of time that could be better spent doing the things you love.

Transport for Wales is here to make sustainable travel a natural choice and to help combat the climate emergency. We’re working towards ambitious goals to support the Welsh Government’s 2050 net-zero targets. We’ll decarbonise Wales’ transport networks and improve air quality in our communities. But we need your help to do this.

Ready to explore this winter? Whether it’s hiking or biking, camping or glamping, a trip to an art gallery or a country park, our trains and local bus services can get you to your destination in the dramatic heart of Wales.

This week (29th July – 5th August) is #LoveParksWeek and so, with the summer holidays beginning, we’ve put together a list of some of our favourite (and most stunning) outdoor spaces across the network - perfect for a lovely summer walk.  

Are you tired of getting stuck in early morning road traffic? Or being a few minutes late for your train to work?

At Transport for Wales, we want to create a integrated transport network so you can leave the car at home. Instead, why not choose a walk, cycle, train or bus. There are many benefits of being regularly active, including improved mental and physical wellbeing, that can be achieved through an active commute.

Read on to find out more about how you can transform your morning from long queues to a relaxing and refreshing start to your day.

To mark National Walking Month, here are some of the best former rail routes you can walk along in Wales, chosen by our guest contributors.
