Starting point




Powys Radnorshire
LD6 5HP

Starting at Elan Village we warm up along the Elan Trail and the Claerwen valley road, with a little detour through lower Llanerchi woods. Quick look at Claerwen dam and then we head over Llanerchi hill. There is a bit of a steep climb and a boggy bit to contend with - pushing is very much allowed!
We then ride over the tops of the hill along farm tracks and descend down through the woods along a single track path. A bit rocky in places but not too technical. This brings us to the Nantgwllt trails where we can have a bit of a play before heading back along the trail for a snack at the Visitor centre or drive to the Lost Arc café in Rhayader.
Some mountain bike experience required and fitness to climb hills on bike or foot (or have an e-bike!) but its not super-hard and encouragement and support always given - its a Breeze ride!
