This classic Freerein trail, which explores the best of the Radnor Hills, will have special appeal to riders seeking flexible length riding days. Each day can be shortened or lengthened according to how the legs, or other parts, are coping.
Diverse overnight stops
Freerein offers dozens of different places to stay overnight whilst on trail. This divides mainly into welcoming Guest Houses, B&B’s and individual country Inns.
Head into the hills
The first day out from Freerein follows one of the Begwns Trails to end the day with a warm welcome one of the guest houses, B&B or Inns. If you are staying in a guest house, riders who would like an evening drink, please remember to pack a bottle or two with your luggage and we will deliver.
Lunch: Hillside picnic
The following day, follow remote heather moorland tracks to pause for a picnic lunch on one of the hills and enjoy the views on this horse riding holiday.
Your trail continues over the mysterious Black Yat to reach the edge of the Radnor Forest, in the afternoon.
Choice of route options
