Current status
Temporarily closed
Powys County Council's temporary order closing Monk's Trod (BOAT LC296) to motor vehicles, with motorcycle access only on a few council permit days, ran to 1 September 2026. As of 1 October 2026 the council has not published a further extension, so it may have lapsed, but we can't confirm that. Call Powys on 01597 827500 before riding. The long-standing ban on four-wheeled vehicles still applies.

- Possible closure: Powys County Council's temporary order on Monk's Trod (BOAT LC296) stops at the county boundary on the River Claerwen, so it doesn't cover this stretch in Ceredigion. We haven't found a Ceredigion order on this half, but we can't rule one out, and the Powys side east of the river may still be closed. Check with Ceredigion County Council (01545 570881) before riding.
