Two of the more important long distance trails that go through the proposed development are:

• The Upper Ceriog Trail, a 13-mile multi use track – bridleway /footpath/bike - through rugged and exposed terrain.

•  St Melangell's Way.  A peaceful pilgrims trail through Wales' stunning landscapes from Shrewsbury Abbey to Pennant Melangell. A place of pilgrimage for nearly 1000 years.
