Mountain biking in the Brecon Beacons
Overview
The Brecon Beacons National Park has lots of green roads, ideal for the relaxed mountain biker. You can hire bikes in the town or have them delivered to the hostel if you book in advance. A short drive south will take you to Garwnant Forest, a little more adventurous but not too extreme - you'll still have the energy to enjoy the rest of the day.
