Afan Argoed MTB trails

Afan has something for everyone,  from the Green starter trails for the nippers, to the massive Skyline loop, each end of the valley is serviced with a cafe amd bike shop, Afan has Afan bike shed and the Glyncorrwg end has Afan a blast & Corrwg Cwtch. You'll also find Bethal chapel cafe if you decide to head to the of piste trails up the Masts.  Each end of the valley has showers, toilets and camping available. You can also find the Afan skills park located next to Bryn Bettws lodges, which is  another camp site located on Afan trails. The trails up Afan are maintained  by NRW and the Afan trail volunteers, a few sections on the blade and skyline trails have recently been closed for upgraded, so now Helter Skelter is a real treat, the new sections on Skyline are awesome for the fitter rider, Bow and Arrow are gems 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍻
