The Begwns Trail - 2 days
The Begwns
Horses fed and tacked-up, stirrups adjusted (long stirrups for long days), girths tightened, maps and routes studied and checked - now climb or leap into the saddle and ride out onto the Begwns, an atmospheric expanse of bracken covered hill offering panoramic views across Wales and back across the Wye Valley to the Black Mountains.
This the ideal start to a trail for first time FreeRein riders - wide firm grassy tracks between the bracken make for easy route finding with opportunities for safe canters.
Painscastle
After leaving the Begwns, wind down into Painscastle where the Roast Ox Inn offers the option of a lunch stop.
Accommodation
After lunch you climb gently out of Painscastle onto heather moorland you are heading for Newhouse Farm, or Cwmfillo, or, a bit further away, the Old Vicarage Bryngwyn.
These working hill farms all provide a high standard of home cooked meals and a warm welcome. They are not licensed so if you would like drinks for the evening just add them to your luggage for us to deliver.
Return to FreeRein
All these trails return to FreeRein with a choice of routes which allow ample time to amble through the hills, practice route finding, make detours along Llanbedr and Rhulen Hills and the Begwns.
