Radnor Farms

Explore the Radnor Hills . . .

You’ll have the option to stay at a selection of unique country guest houses or inns during this fine tour of the Radnor Hills. The outward journey usually goes via Painscastle and over Llanbedr Hill for the first night’s rest.

And the heart of Powys, Mid Wales

The second day will see you cross the open bracken and heather covered expanses of Little Hill, Glascwm Hill and Gwaunceste Hill. Tether up and with a picnic lunch in your saddlebags take in the views from the hillside. Your route drops down off the open hill along the old green lanes via Franksbride at the ancient four stones to stay the night. This ride will take you through the heart of Powys, which a scientific study by Manchester and Sheffield Universities proved is the happiest county in the United Kingdom. The researchers concluded “it’s no coincidence that the happiest area in the survey is the least overcrowded”.

Stop for lunch . . .

You’ll cross the beautiful Aberedw Hill on your final day before traversing the Edw Valley and heading past the mysterious ‘Ireland’. The early birds will have time to take in the views. Then head back to Freerein HQ via the Begwns for that last canter of the day.
