The Ox Trail - 2 Days
Like the Begwns Trails the day starts with the old lanes leading out onto open hill with wide easy to follow tracks through the bracken. Have a canter or two here if you wish and stop to take in the panoramic views back to the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains.
Leaving the Begwns ford the Bachhowey Brook and up onto Llanbedr and Llandeilo Hills with a choice of longer or shorter tracks leading eventually to the Roast Ox Inn, Painscastle.

Painscastle
This hamlet was once an important stopping place for the drovers taking their cattle from west Wales to London. There were seven pubs. Only the Ox remains. It is a charactersome old place. All rooms are ensuite, the chef is good and there is lively local trade attracted by the excellent Real Ales and Ciders.
Late Start Option
Riders have the option of arriving at FreeRein for 12 noon. For all other trails we ask riders to arrive for 9.a.m., but the Roast Ox is favourably placed in the hills and can be reached by a variety of routes of from 3 - 6 hours in the saddle, and offers a full days ride for those travelling from afar who do not wish to spend a pre-trail night near FreeRein.
