Big days at Afan
The whole Afan area is brilliant, nothing bad to say!
What do you like?
Afan is a great place, i love riding there. I have been a few times and reviewed before. After a recent trip i left with as big a smile as always. I have heard a few things online commenting on the facilities with the cafe and shop closing.
During my last visit , the shop fixed my dropper while i had a great lunch upstairs before heading back out into what can only be described as constant rain as you would expect in Wales.
It was a real shame to hear that places like this were closing, but i am looking forward to going back soon and trying the new facilities out.
Thanks to the previous owners and looking forward to visiting the new ones.
What could be improved?
None really, the trails are classic and so are the centres.

Something for everyone
Awesome. Get out there and ride.
What do you like?
There is something for everyone at Afan. Trails for the kids and expert riders. There is a also a skills park for the little ones and one on the top of the wall for the older folks. You can spend an a couple of hour out, a day or a weekend. The area is beautiful with amazing views whilst on the trails.
I started out my Mtb adventures at Afan and have improved so much by riding the different trails.
There are two centre both with showers and a cafe for food. Staff are fab. There is also a Bike Shop and they are extremely friendly and helpful.
When ever I leave Afan after a days riding I am smiling. It's like therapy.
Also doesn't cost an arm and leg to ride there

First Proper Ride
My first proper MTB trail ride was y wal, years ago. The final decent still makes me grin everytime I ride it
What do you like?
Good variety of trails and good facilities. Whilst not the steepest descents around (except the newish black off y Wal, that'll make you wet your pants), the speed you can keep up is unreal.
What could be improved?
Damn Welsh weather.
Would you recommend?
yes

A variety of trails catering from kids first ride to one of the best final descents in Wales.
A kids skills park and a big kids skills park and a load of wilder riding nearby.

Skyline cycles has closed.

Very rewarding trails
Always look forward to going back.
Trails are so varied with something to suit everyone. Stunning valley and Bike Shop, cafe, showers and toilet. £1 car park. I really cannot think of a proper negative. Afan has become a stern favourite. (Y wâl is the Favourite)
Roind the corner from Glyncorrwg so plenty of choices.
What do you like?
Recent work on reducing puddles
Shrubs have been cut back.
Exceptionally designed trails that really reward those that want to push hard. (Y wâl)
Equally decent easy trails with great views.
Showers. Toilet. Bike Shop. Cafe. Parking for only £1 all day.
Rideable in all weather.
Stunning views
Free bike wash
What could be improved?
Its 4.5 hours away from me.
Some small puddles still remain after heavy downpours.
Would you recommend?
Yes
