I know my question is quite off topic for here, but I know there are some people from Wales/England here who might answer my question.

I am going on a cycling tour in Wales (and if time allows England - Cornwall) this summer. As I can't find the info I am looking for on the internet (I spent many an hour on this recherche)

The maps which I have all show the Severn bridges between Bristol and Newport as Motorway bridges. Is there any way to get across for a (motor-less) bike?
Is there a cycling lane on the bridges or some other way (rail/bus)?
Or is there some ferry (perhaps between Cardiff and Weston)?
Or do I have to take the detour through Gloucester (100km/60miles = 1 day)?

Another thing: do hostels in Wales have self-catering kitchens?

All other infos on Wales are also welcome!
