The Builth Trail - 2 Days

Feeding time at freerein

The Builth Trail is a two day trail ride staying overnight at the Llanelwedd Arms in the mid Wales market town of Builth from which this trail takes its name. It is two long days in the saddle of 16-18 miles in length. This trail ride starts from Pendre Barns, Painscastle although as with all of our trails you still come to freerein HQ first to pack saddle bags, go through maps and routes and of course collect your fit and friendly GG’s.

For freerein+ trail riders only . . .

Heading into the Wye Valley - Flowers are optional

Please note that this trail ride is only offered to those with previous experience of one of more self-guided trail rides with freerein. If you are contemplating your first self guided trail with us you can view a selection of suitable trails by following this link: horse riding holidays.

If some members of your group have done previous self-guided trails and others haven’t, bookings on freerein+ trails such as this one should be suitable for you and are most welcome. If you are unsure please do not hesitate to contact us for a chat.

Explore the upper Wye Valley . . .

From Painscastle journey directly westwards along the length of Llanbedr Hill before emerging into the Wye Valley. The Wye Valley in its upper reaches is rightly renowned for both its salmon and scenery. The Builth trail ride journeys through the hills, crosses either side of the Wye Valley and offers panoramic views to the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains and the River Wye. The trail crosses the wild and remote north eastern edge of the Eppynt before dropping down into Builth.

Spend an evening in the market town Builth Wells . . .

Here there is a choice of accommodations but most customers stay at the Llanelwedd Arms. A great little pub on the banks of the River Wye. Please note that there are often large events on at the nearby Royal Welsh Showground which means that staying overnight at the Llanelwedd and Builth Wells is sometimes not possible over a weekend.

Trail Ride through perfect horse country . . .

There is a choice of routes back to Painscastle. Either follow the same route or over Aberedw Hill and a possible stop at the Hundred House Inn for lunch before traveling back over Glascwm Hill and to Painscastle.

The Builth Trail is a challenging and exciting two day trail ride with two good long riding days.

We look forward to welcoming you on the Builth Trail . . .
