Rhayader, the off-road capital of Mid Wales

Rhayader is a small market town on the River Wye, roughly equidistant from Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff, making it genuinely accessible from most of England and Wales. It sits at the crossroads of some of the best green laning in the UK, with routes heading out in every direction across the Cambrian Mountains. Water Breaks its Neck, Rhayader Golf Links and the Elan Valley tracks all start close to town.
