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.
