Nestling in the Cambrian Mountains, not far from Aberystwyth, is the Nant yr Arian MTB centre. This is the toughest of all the Nant yr Arian routes, and takes you all the way to the Nant y Moch reservoir along some remote tracks and trails. This is a serious outing and you’ll need to be well kitted out with plenty of spares as it’s a long walk back!
