Syfydrin Trail

About Syfydrin Trail

This Saturday (4/5/13), the Red Kite Challenge running event will be taking place at Bwlch Nant yr Arian.  The Diggers End section on the Syfydrin and Pendam Trail will be closed for approx. 1 hour from 13.15 to 12.15.  A diversion will be in place.

The Syfydrin Trail is an epic ride in epic countryside. This trail takes in the entire existing Summit trail with its fantastic swooping, flowing singletrack, and adds to it by leading you out onto the high open hills with stunning views. It is a long and challenging ride in exposed and remote countryside, so go equipped for any eventuality.

 

How to get there:

Syfydrin Trail can be started from Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre in Nant yr Arian. Ponterwyd is the nearest town or village.

Located 10 miles east of Aberystwyth on the A44(T), just 2 miles from Ponterwyd.

The 525 bus from Aberystwyth - Ponterwyd/Llanidloes stops at the entrance to the car park.
