Description

Irfon Forest mountain biking is centred on the hills and bridleways surrounding Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys, mid-Wales. The terrain is natural and largely unmarked, with technical singletrack, rocky tracks, rugged doubletrack, and long gravel forest roads. The rewards are strong: sweeping descents, big views, and proper off-grid character. Route-finding is a real skill here, so a GPS or downloaded GPX is recommended.
