Afan Forest Mountain Bike & Cycling Trails

Rookie Trail (Green 6.1km / Blue 2.6km)

An ideal beginner trail featuring a wide path with gentle declines. Practice technical skills in the dedicated skills area. The sectioned Rookie trail allows riders to choose their experience level. Those ready to advance can take the optional 2.6km blue loop at the end, which descends to the River Afan's hidden areas. Picnic areas are available throughout the trail.

Blue Scar Trail (Blue 7km)

A fantastic 7km trail that introduces riders to the Afan network. Requires effort but rewards with spectacular views and an exhilarating descent across the valley.

Penhydd Trail (Red 14.4km)

The 14.4km Penhydd trail begins with the Blue Scar climb from the visitor center, then continues upward when Blue Scar branches off. Its substantial climbs and recently added steep rocky sections that loop back to the starting point make this a challenging trail.
