Original Freerein Trail . . .
Originally offered to customers back in 1991, this original Freerein horse riding holiday is highly recommended. This legendary route has remained unchanged since, a couple of accommodation changes aside. Circumnavigating the Radnor Fforest over 5 days you’ll climb to over 2000ft, while taking in some of the finest horse terrain and scenery the Radnor Hills have to offer.
Explore with your trusty steed . . .
From Freerein HQ you’ll travel over the Begwns through Painscastle before stopping at a welcoming guest house or inn at the end of your first day. These classic accommodation places provide comfort and sanctuary for horses and riders alike.
On your second day you’ll take in Red Hill before travelling east towards New Radnor.
Your trail then heads through the tiny village of Bleddfa to the Radnor Fforest. The last wolf in Wales was said to have been killed here back in 1997, hence why Bleddfa translates to “place of the wolf”. Despite being an “off the beaten track” and remote part of the country, there’s a pub in Bleddfa – known as the Hundred House Inn – you pass this continuing through the remote Cwm -y-Gerwynn valley!
Stay at interesting, unique accommodations on route . . .
You’ll be treated to stunning views as you travel along lots of open hills.. A very satisfying 5 day trail riding holiday and truly classic trail.
