About
Bwlch Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre is managed by Natural Resources Wales and the visitor centre is the starting point for a range of waymarked trails for walkers, mountain bikers, runners and horse riders. It is well-known for its long-established tradition of feeding red kites every day.
RUNNING TRAILS
The waymarked running trails at Bwlch Nant yr Arian start from the car park and are named after an imposing pair of Bronze Age local standing stones, Buwch a’r Llo (Cow and Calf).
The two trails (Y Llo and Y Fuwch) offer an introduction to trail running. They follow forest roads and singletrack paths with occasional roots, mud and rocks, and have steep ascents and descents.
For full details of the visitor facilities (including trail lengths and grades) and information about any changes or temporary closures to trails or other facilities please go to the Natural Resources Wales website.
