The Wye & Eppynt Trail - 3 Days

Trail Riding through Brechfa Pool

The Wye & Eppynt Trail is a three day trail ride staying overnight at the Old Mill B&B in Felin Fach and the Llanelwedd Arms, Builth Wells. The trail explores the upper reaches of the Wye Valley and the eastern side of the Eppynt Mountains. It is three long days in the saddle of 16-18 miles in length.

For freerein+ trail riders only . . .

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.

Travel a different way from freerein HQ . . .

Unlike nearly all other trails from freerein HQ this trail heads directly south west rather than north onto the Begwns. This allows easy access to the banks of the River Wye which this trail follows upstream for a number of miles. These flat fields offer great canter opportunities and completely different scenery to other trails. Please note that there is an unavoidable 1 mile section of main road necessary to join the trail along the Wye, however it is straight wide grass verges. your trail brings you to Llyswen where there is an option for lunch at either the Griffin or the Bridgeend Inns.

After lunch head up onto the beautiful but seldom explored areas of Brechfa and Llandyfalle Hills offering the green rolling, open hills that are the more familiar terrain of freereiners. After swinging south the trail leads you to the small village of Felin Fach and your first nights stop at The Old Mill. Here you have a choice of two inns to eat at both just 50 yards from the Old Mill.

Out and over the Eppynt . . .

Eppynt foothills above Builth Wells

Refreshed and refueled, day two finds you skirting around the edge the Eppynt on remote open hills and forestry before descending down to the river Wye. Here you stay the evening in Builth Wells at the Llanelwedd Arms while the horses graze peacefully on the outskirts of town.

Please note that there are often large events on in Builth Wells so the Wye & Eppynt trail is not always available on weekends.

Ride in perfect horse country . . .

The third and final day starts with a small amount of main road before a steep climb onto Aberedw Hill and stunning views back over the Eppynt and Builth Wells. There is an option to pop down to the Hundred House Inn at Hundred house for lunch before heading back over Glascwm hill to finish your trail at Painscastle.

The Wye & Eppynt Trail is a challenging 3 day trail ride with good long days in the saddle and staying overnight at one B&B and one Inn.

We all look forward to welcoming you on the Wye & Eppynt Trail Ride . . .
