Introduction
The Melan Trail is a two day trail ride staying overnight in the tiny hamlet of Llanfihangel Nant Melan. It is two variable length riding days dependent on which routes you choose. On the first morning of your horse riding holiday you will arrive at Freerein HQ to pack saddle bags, go through maps and routes and of course collect your fit and friendly GGs.
Lots of route choices
Starting from Freerein HQ there is a large choice of trail riding routes on the Melan trail ride. From a 12 mile jaunt over the expanse of hills to Llanfihangel-Nant-Melan to 20 miles. The first part of these routes travel high above Painscastle past the mysterious ‘Ireland’ before heading off on your chosen trail. Then all routes continue over the mysterious Black Yat before dropping down in to the valley for your overnight stay.
