Hi, i was just emailing to inquire about costing for the Cilcain Short course for 6 people age 17+, and whether we would have to hire bikes, helmets etc. Or bring our own equipment. Many Thanks. Andrew.
Hello Andrew, this route is a natural trail, it is free to ride because it uses public bridleways. You would need to provide your own equipment or hire bikes from nearby Llangollen. There are also guides who can take you out on these types of routes.
Alternatively, you can hire bikes and helmets to ride at the trail centre at Llandegla https://www.mbwales.com/agents/coed-llandegla/ where all the trails are contained in one forest. Hope this helps, please let us know if you need any further information.
