Afan Forest Mountain Bike Trail Centre

Trailmade:

Having only ridden blue scar i feel i can't give much of an opinion on the trails but already know it's worth going back to. It was a tame but fun trail with some good berms. The bike park is excellent with all kinds of lines, for any rider. The bottom is a network of berms leading off the different runs which gives a big grin in my opinion!

Great bike park and fun skills area. Excellent 4x track!

Martin:

Excellent variety of terrain and types of single track from swoopy berms to rocks to tight and technical. A very welcome addition to the south wales scene. Givs a bit more than an up and down morning ride like Whites levels can be

The afan valley really is a true gem that firmly puts South Wales on the mtb map of not only the uk but Europe . With its variety of long and short trails to suit all abilities of technical and cardiovascular abilities I am reluctant to share my view of this great trail centre incase I encourage too many riders to ride here. For any true mtb rider a weekend ring at the afan argoed trail centre is a must ! Once you try you will be planning your next trip.

Great variety of trails for all skills , great facilities at the trail centre's including shop service repairs / food showers / bike wash

With the Afan valley being 12 miles long with easy access to the 'Bwlch' and 'Rhigos' mountains at its north end and some beginners trails as well as cycle track starting at the south end of the valley Afan really has everything for all your mountain biking needs whether you are brand new or very experienced in this discipline. Throw in the fact you have 3 trail centres a skills loop and a 'Rookie' trail you can begin to see how much is on offer, whether its an epic or a short sharp thrill ride you will not be disappointed. Facilities are second to none with ample car parking, showers in two of the centres and Cafes plus expert help on hand with numerous places offering accommodation with the mountain biker and other outdoor persons in mind you can spend days having a ball in your favourite pastime. If the weather is nice and the trails flowing what a place to be and even if it is raining the trails hold up well as they are well maintained with new sections being added recently what a choice. Any Mountain Biker who visits will be smiling when leaving.

In winter and summer the Afan Valley as a lot to offer. In the winter warm your hands after a bike ride in front of the log fire in Afan Lodge in the summer sit on the decking of the Afan Lodge or the cafe at Glyncorrwg, Afan Argoed and splendour the views. The Afan Valley as a lot to offer from the most experienced mountain bike rider to a family cycle ride. Lots of facilities from toilets to showers in all the centres and plenty of accommodation in the Valley, information can be found on this site. A good starting point for families is the Rhyslyn car park. This is a free car park with a tarmac cycle track that goes through the stunning valley of the Afan passing Afan Argoed and Afan Lodge. The cycle track was built on a disused railway line so no big hills to climb for families; you can look this up in the sustrans map route 887. Not too far from the Rhyslyn car park is the Afan Valleys new green trail “Rookie”. This is graded easy and is 5.5km long. So all in all this valley as a lot to offer all levels of riders.
