Road cyclists and mountain bikers are spoilt for choice in Mid Wales with a wide range of country lanes, permitted cycleways and bridleways to suit all experience levels, and you can be sure of fantastic views along the way!
Whether you're looking for challenging mountain bike trails or scenic cycle routes that won't leave you too out of breath, the landscapes and scenery of Mid Wales have long encouraged cyclists of all abilities to get on their bikes.
Mid Wales has the UK’s first dedicated mountain bike trail centre at Coed Y Brenin, which has gradually evolved from natural forest trails, to the extensive network of all weather routes which you can enjoy today.
The Skills Park at Bwlch Nant yr Arian is a purpose-built track for mountain bikers to practice their technique or just warm up before hitting the longer trails which start from the visitor centre.
Organised cycling holidays are available throughout Mid Wales, with accommodation, luggage transported, bikes and equipment all included.
