Mountain Bike Wales

Mountain Bike Wales Amazing mountain bike experiences across Wales, specialising in multi-day tours and adventures.

Phill & Polly live, work and play in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains of mid Wales. We have over 20 years guiding experience in both the UK and Europe, and our knowledge and experience of Wales will ensure you have an amazing mountain biking adventure across one of Britain's last remaining wild landscapes. We're ideally situated to guide you across Wales along the Trans Cambrian Way (our specia

lity), explore the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons to the south, or the stunning Snowdonia National Park to the north. The Elan Valley is also a favourite of ours, and its large expanse of open land and excellent bridleways offer riders a true wild and remote adventure at every twist and turn along the trail. The forest centres at Nant Yr A***n, Coed Y Brenin and the Dyfi Forest also have excellent trail heads and are a great day out if you don't want to look at a map. However just a pedal stroke away are a network of off piste single-track trails that offer the seasoned trail rider so much more. All our weekends include great accommodation, food, guiding and transfers, and give you a real flavour of mid Wales life along your journey. So let us take all the hassle out of organising your weekend away, and guide you on your very own Wales adventure...

Now how’s that for a backdrop… Fitz Roy, El Chalten, Patagonia.

A ride around eastern edge of the NP into a horrific head wind, but the reward was worth the effort.

☀️🤞🏻

The scenery is absolutely stunning in every direction, and if you’ve not visited Cwm Elan before, you’ll wonder why it’s take you so long!

After a great day out on the hills, spend the evening relaxing at Ty Morgans / The Crown in Rhayader with some delicious food and a drink or two.

No bikes, just hikes around Torres del Paine, Patagonia. 8 days of the most spectacular treks you could imagine. So hard to describe just how beautiful these mountains and region are. The people of Chile are amazing, as were our guides Pablo and Alvaro. Eco Camp is 👌🏻

Thanks to Swoop Patagonia for organising our amazing visit. Won’t be the last…

The town council of Puerto Natales definitely made a great decision placing this awesome bmx/skate park on the waterfront looking toward Torres del Paine.

Could have been so easy to make it all touristy and dull, but instead gave the local residents an awesome place to play!

We’ve decided to ditch the gloomy January weather in search of sun in Patagonia. Travelling through Argentina and Chile, we’ll no doubt be looking for lots of biking related images to share later.

To start, this Police Woman complete with sidearm and baton, was flying around Palermo in Buenos Aires on her police issued mountain bike. 🙌🏻

For anyone wishing to book onto a tour while we’re away, everything is working just fine. Just fill out the RSVP, follow payment details, and your space is secured. Simple.

We’ve just spent the past week riding and running with beautiful Bunbury while her humans are away for New Year.

Still makes me smile when I see her pictured here at Nant yr A***n in 2019, jumping over the iPhone, giving us a beautiful capture.

Have a great Sunday, especially if your out riding with your 🐾

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us this year; your energy, enthusiasm, and spirit made each ride truly special.

We can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store and look forward to riding with you all again. Here’s to new trails, more memories, and even bigger adventures ahead!

We opted for a day of gravelling on the curly bars at Coed Y Brenin with P&J. Despite the misty damp conditions, it was a top ride out in the forest to blow away the festive excess. Although I don’t think it really made a dent!

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Aaron Jones who was tragically killed by a motorist while walking his dog near Salem, Carmarthenshire.

Aaron, sitting far right enjoying a beer after a ride in the Elan Valley, joined us here in mid Wales a few times and always followed our adventures closely. A keen rally enthusiast too, and always had a story or two about events and riding with friends.

Deepest sympathies to his family and friends at this difficult time.
