An opinion expressed by world famous mountaineer, Sir Chris Bonnington, is ‘Welsh rock climbing is as good as any in the world’. In Mid Wales the crags of Cadair Idris, give you excellent climbing, stunning views and, if you are lucky, the company of buzzards and peregrine falcons.

Climbing in Mid Wales can be enjoyed by everyone, ranging from those looking to try it for the first time to experienced climbers. The cliffs at Tremadog, have routes at all grades, making this a popular year round venue for the beginner and expert alike.

To get even higher - take to the skies. The Welsh Borders are one of the best areas in Britain for flying long distances in a paraglider or hang glider. Learning to fly takes only a little time, with training for both governed by the British Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association.    

Back to earth, looking for unspoilt views and a diverse landscape, head for the Brecon Beacons, a superb area for outdoor pursuits. At Black Mountain Activities choose from a range of outdoor centres offering adrenaline fuelled activities including climbing, abseiling and caving.

With qualified and experienced leaders guiding you the whole way, you'll be able to discover for yourself another side to Mid Wales.
