From the English Border to the Irish Sea, the Trans Cambrian Way mountain biking route shoulders through the oldest mountain range in Europe to uncover the utter wilderness of Mid Wales. Through these sparsely populated landscapes, this self-guided mountain biking holiday charges along rocky technical trails, gravel paths beside Wales’ famous reservoirs, and through pine forest with fast single track descents to keep you busy.

There are numerous climbs to scale, but each and every effort delivers miles of adventure. You’ll enjoy a huge variety of scenery out here, between the dramatic landscape of the Cambrian hills, the green slopes of the Elan Valley and miles of wild open moorland. Cycling holidays along the Trans Cambrian Way are a whopping 70% off-road. The trail occasionally follows the route of Glyndwr’s Way and passes close by the sources of both Severn and Wye rivers. Cycle-friendly Welsh villages promise a decent pint and a bed at the end of each day.
