Off-road Cycling

Off-road cycling is allowed on forest roads and bridleways within the Hafren Forest.

Mountain biking is not permitted along Permissive Walks, like the Severn Way and Wye Valley Walk, and Forest Walks like the boardwalk.

For a really great mountain-biking experience, why not use Llanidloes as your base then try the world class mountain biking available less than half an hour away at Bwlch Nant yr Arian where you can try the Syfydrin, Pendarn & Summit Trails?

Similarly, a short drive to the nearby market town of Machynlleth will allow you to tackle the Mach 1, 2 & 3 cross country routes or the 15km-round Climachx bike trail
