Although officially Britain's smallest town, Llanwrtyd has been big on mountain biking since it began, with the famous Man v Horse back in operation and other riding and beer festivals that fill the local calendar. The long history of mountain biking in the town also makes sure you'll have a warm welcome wherever you go.

Llanwrtyd is also ideally placed to link to other areas such as the Knighton area trails, Elan Valley, National Cycle Route No 8 and the whole of the surrounding Cambrian Mountains.

The main mountain biking centre in the area, is Coed Trallwm.
Complete with a log cabin Visitor Centre, Forest Café, FREE bike wash, two power showers, good parking and three graded trails and several others in the planning stage.

Collectively, the single track comprises 15km, the climbs are based on forest roads with some technical sections, and the descents, which weave among the trees and also take in some open sections, are fast flowing. While challenging, the top of the Black Trail rewards you with a stunning view of mid-Wales’ highest point the Drygarn Fawr to the west and the top of the Brecon Beacons to the south.
