WALES may be best known for its sheep and shit weather, but it’s also the Mecca of off-road riding in the UK.

The people (or lack thereof)
Sandwiched between the old industrial towns of Wales’ Southern valleys and the busy touristy mountains of the North, Mid-Wales is an altogether quieter affair, comprising rolling Cambrian mountains, grazing farmlands and a distinct lack of people. Central Wales has around 30 people per square kilometre - that’s less than a tenth of the population density endured by their English neighbours. All that empty space means more places to ride and fewer people to complain.
