This is the perfect place to challenge your hill climbing ability to the limit.

Mountains rise and beckon the biker all around Llandrindod Wells, Rhayader, Builth Wells and Llandegley to name but a few. There are also many mountain bike trails around the Elan Valley Reservoirs. Staying at the Greylands Guest House is a great central location to pick and choose the best local trails to ride, and there is overnight accommodation in the garage and an area where you can clean off the day's mud before doing it all again tomorrow.

Bike Hire
If you don't have a bike, but can't resist the temptation of the local roads and trails, then there are a number of hire centres locally, who can either delivery your bikes to the guest house, or we can even give you a lift there. You don't even have to clean them yourself, which has got to be the best part of hiring a mountain bike...
