About

Mountain Bike Wales offers expertly guided mountain biking experiences and cycling adventures across the wild and varied landscapes of Mid Wales and beyond. Based in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, this specialist guiding company creates immersive journeys designed to showcase some of the best off road riding Wales has to offer.

Their experiences focus on exploring remote bridleways, open moorland, forest trails and natural singletrack, allowing riders to experience Wales at a slower and more connected pace. Routes are carefully planned to reflect rider ability, conditions and the character of the landscape, making each trip both rewarding and memorable.


What Mountain Bike Wales Offers

Mountain Bike Wales specialises in guided mountain biking experiences ranging from single day rides to longer multi day adventures. These experiences are designed for riders who want to explore beyond trail centres and discover the quieter, more remote landscapes of Mid Wales.

Rides are led by experienced local guides who share their knowledge of the terrain, history and culture of the areas being explored, adding depth and context to each journey.


Types of Guided Rides and Adventures

Mountain Bike Wales runs a range of classic and bespoke mountain biking experiences, including:

• Long distance mountain biking routes across the Cambrian Mountains
• Multi day guided tours through remote upland landscapes
• Coast to coast mountain biking journeys across Wales
• Scenic rides centred on the Elan Valley and surrounding countryside
• Electric mountain bike adventures exploring backcountry terrain
• Custom designed itineraries tailored to group interests and ability

These experiences are ideal for riders seeking adventure, exploration and a deeper connection with the Welsh landscape.


Experience and Approach

The focus of Mountain Bike Wales is on creating well supported, immersive mountain biking experiences that reflect the character of Mid Wales. Trips are carefully planned to balance challenge and enjoyment, with attention given to route choice, pacing and the overall experience.

Multi day tours often include accommodation and logistical support, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the riding without the need for detailed planning.


Who It Is Suitable For

Mountain Bike Wales experiences are best suited to confident riders with off road riding experience who are comfortable cycling longer distances across mixed terrain. Trips are particularly popular with small groups, friends and individuals looking for guided exploration rather than skills coaching.

Custom trips are available, allowing experiences to be shaped around rider interests, fitness and experience.

Map & Directions

Road Directions

By car: If travelling by car and using a SatNav, our postcode is SY19 7BU. We would suggest driving via Llanidloes or Llanbrynmair if travelling from the east. A GPS can often send you via Trefeglwys and some very tight, narrow and steep lanes. Difficult to drive when you don't know the road.

By public transport: If travelling by train, there are two stations nearby. Both Caersws and Machynlleth are approx. 15 minutes away. It's roughly a 4 hour journey from central London changing at Birmingham New Street if travelling from South East. Trains run every hour from Shrewsbury.

If travelling by bus, there are bus stations in Llanidloes, Newtown and Machynlleth. The Traws Cymru service travels through Wales along the coast and A470 on routes T4/5/6. Visit www.trawscymru.info for details.

The nearest railway station is Caersws, which is 7 miles away.
