IMBA Trans-Cambrian Way, Wales

The International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Trans Cambrian Way covers 100 miles from the English border to the Irish Sea, covering the remote hills and moorlands of central Wales.

The route uses moorland tracks and trails, and encompasses challenging climbs, accumulating 12,000 ft, tricky descents, and a few ford crossings. This journey is remote and exposed – making for beautiful but challenging riding.

It is recommended that you complete the route over two or three days, and full GPX files can be downloaded to help you navigate your way, along with a guide that provides info on where to stay and eat.
