Explore Offas Dyke & Hergest Ridge . . .
Topper thinks it's lunchtime
The trail ride to the Harp at Old Radnor takes you past the Royal Oak in Gladestry. It is a potential late lunch stop, but only for those who move swiftly and trot out the miles. Otherwise take lunches and tie up somewhere along Offas Dyke after Newchurch or for an early nibble, Newchurch Hill by the old railway carriage. Lots of good canter opportunities along Offas Dyke and Hergest Ridge. One of the many highlights of this route is the part of Offas Dyke which takes you along the Hergest Ridge of Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells before the exhilarating steep track which takes you to the Harp at Old Radnor.
Enjoy an overnight stay at the highly rated Harp Inn . . .
The Harp Inn is a very popular stop for freereiners. It offers an interesting and varied menu prepared by their professional chef. The rooms have been extensively renovated. The horses stay a 5 minute walk down the road with a friendly local farmer.
Return relaxed and refreshed . . .
The return trail ride from Old Radnor is at first along country lanes then along hill tracks past Pant Glas and Black Yat after which head straight for Painscastle or take a loop round Glascwm Hill before joining the tracks down into Pendre Barns, Painscastle.
The Old Radnor Trail is a two day trail ride with medium to long days in the saddle and staying overnight at the Harp Inn.
We all look forward to welcoming you on the Old Radnor Trail Ride . . .
