Explore on two wheels

The Old Vicarage is an ideal base for exploring the whole of the mid-Wales area, as well as the Marches, Shrewsbury and other destinations.
We are ideally placed as a base or a stop-over if you are exploring the area on two wheels whether cycling, biking, bmx or motor cycle...or if you want to off-road. 

We have secure cycle storage available at The Old Vicarage, along with washdown facilities and toolkits.  We can also provide packed lunches.  There are cycle shops in both Rhayader and Llanidloes.

Here are some ideas to wet your appetite...
