Old Penybont Trail - 3 Days
The ride to the Harp at Old Radnor takes you past the Royal Oak in Gladestry. It is a potential lunch stop only for those who are leave Pendre Barns by 10 a.m. Otherwise take lunches and tie up somewhere along Offas Dyke after Newchurch or for an early nibble, Newchurch Hill by the old railway carriage after the canters.

Which way poppy?
Offas Dyke
One of the joys of this route is the part of Offas Dyke which takes you along the top of Hergest Ridge of Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells before the lead down which takes you to the Harp at Old Radnor.
Penybont
The route from the Harp to Severn Arms crosses the Radnor Forest. Either take the shorter route along the old green lane leading into New Radnor, with option for an early lunch at Radnorshire Arms. You would then climb up onto the top of the Forest via Harley Dingle. Alternatively take the lanes back onto Caety Tralow and Black Yat, and head for Water Break its Neck, tie up by the stream among the giant pines and eat a packed lunch before climbing up over the Radnor Forest to Penybont and the Severn Arms.
Return
A long final day returning to Pendre Barns, Painscastle.
