Fishing
The Unicorn lies approximately fifty yards from the banks
of the River Severn and actually has fishing rights over a stretch on the River
(albeit a narrow stretch of approx 50 yards).
There is an active angling association in Caersws. This association controls
a 7 mile stretch of double bank fishing for salmon, trout and grayling. Click

a motorcycle before and road riders who have not been off road are welcome,
as are trail riders who would like to see how other people do it! Either bring
your own bike or use one of ours. For the ultimate thrill try the enduro (off-road)
sidecar experience!"
Diamonds MCC - !The club organises trail bike rallies (easy enduros) in Wales,
and training days in off-road riding at various locations in Wales and England.
The Raider Rally held in August is particularly aimed at beginners, novices

is more testing, but still suitable for novices. Both have classes for solos
(trail and enduro), sidecars and quads, and older bikes (and riders too!)"

Walking
Should you prefer a more "leisurely stroll", a walk along the banks
of the adjacent River Severn would fit the bill perfectly.
However, for the more energetic, within a couple of miles lie some of the
most breathtaking scenery in the country.
Talk to the locals here for a route to fit all preferences. You will find
a map in the bar showing routes "off the beaten track".
