Coed y Brenin

Posted by Sue:
For Irish mountain bikers arriving at our accommodation in Snowdonia it must be like waking up in Heaven. Not only will they have superb self catering accommodation with a pub that serves food 5 minutes walk away but they will be in the centre of, what some people consider to be, the best mountain biking in Europe.
We are less than 5 minutes drive from the Coed y Brenin Visitors' Centre and you can ride out onto the trails straight from your front door, along our Rhinog Vista route (laminated route map provided). Accommodation is in 2 or 3 bedroomed, fully equipped (fully heated) log cabins sleeping up to 8 people. Most of our log cabins have bike storage and bike wash facilities. We will provide you with our mountain biking pack (with details of local trails) and your cabin will have our own mountain biking DVD (or video) showing on and off bike footage of local trails. Our staff have intimate knowledge of the local trails (and the scars to prove it!). Cadair View Lodges are about a 1.5 - 2 hour drive from Holyhead.
We can cope with late arrivals (including early hours of morning) and (for an extra charge) can usually allow guests to keep their cabins until 5 - 6pm. We can provide bedding and towels (at extra charge) if required and offer a shopping service. All guests receive Welcome Basket including bread, milk, tea, coffee, biscuits, dairy spread, loo rolls, bin bags, washing up liquid, etc. Within half an hour drive we have these purpose built trails: COED Y BRENIN: Afon Trail (11km easy), Temtiwr Trail (9km moderate), Tarw Trail (22Km difficult), MBR trail (18km difficult), Dragons Back (31km severe), The Beast (38K extreme) GWDYR FOREST: Marin Trail (25km difficult) MACHYNLLYTH: Mach 1 (16km), Mach 2 (23km), Mach 3 (30km), Climach-X (15km - red to black with the famous Tony The Tiger descent!) PENMACHNO: 25km difficult PLUS (not purpose built but recognised trails) Coed y Garnedd, Pont Scethin, Cadair Idris and more Within an hour's drive: CLWYDIAN TRAILS LLANDEGLA NANT ARIAN Watch "Bike Riding at Cadair View Lodge Video" Watch "Cadair View Lodge Accommodation Film"
The only downside is that we are closed each year for the month of November (planning regulations and to refresh the mud) but we are open the other 11 months of the year. We are an ideal family location with lots to do in the surrounding area for all of the family. If you get fed up with the mountain biking trails (?!!) why not try white water rafting, canyoning or any number of other extreme pursuits available in the area. To see the cabins and for more information see our website... http://www.cadairviewlodge.co.uk You can contact me directly on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We look forward to welcoming lots more Irish guests to Snowdonia.
