Afan Forest Trail Centre is home to over 100km of world class singletrack mtb trails spread throughout the forest with something for almost every rider!
Afan Forest Park is the home of four world class trails: White's Level, Skyline, W2 and Y Wâl with Each of the trails offer a unique challenge but guarantee a big grin!
The trails start and finish from Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre and Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre (further up the Afan Valley). Both venues have a car park, cafe and in-house facilities catering for all your biking needs.
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.
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.
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.
