For context, Wales recently reduced it's 'default' speed limit down to 20mph.

This is actually a long standing rule and the reason British racing green exists.

Speed limits still apply for public roads even if closed to the public. And it used to be a local council would need to go to Westminster to make exceptions. That changed recently with more power going to local authorities, but there's still going to be some restrictions.
