Amazing Facility
Huge variety of trails for all abilities- we did 2 days here in the summer & it was a brilliant weekend.
Very well maintained trails, with varying degrees of difficulty.

Uplift service was fantastic, we didn't wait more than 5 minutes at the collection point for any
than 5 minutes for any uplift over the 2 days- which enabled maximum fun & time on the trails!

Food at the cafe/restaurant is really good & there is a full Bike Shop for sales & repairs.
This really is a top notch facility & you can tell there has been huge investment, both financially & in man power, to make this a Mecca for any mountain biker!
What could be improved?
None whatsoever
(apart from the distance from my house!)

All under one roof
Perfect
What do you like?
Friendly Staff, Top end bike rentals, top food, onsite mechanics...
All the trails are sign posted well, there well maintained and a range from beginner to hardcore downhill...
Theres a pump track to test our some skills.
Parking always there and free.
Mainly 3+ uplifts at a time, hardly any to no waiting if you've pre booked. and only a 5 minutes tops if you pay as you go. (some drivers listen to classical on the uplifts so be warned!)
Always book early.
Oh and would be good to have a VIP unlimited year pass for uplifts... id pay £1000 for a year.
Def a world class venue for sure.
What could be improved?
If i could change 1 thing and sooo many others say the same, is rotate the uplifts during lunch time so you dont have to stop... as i turn up a bit before lunch due to travelling and do a few runs then have to wait a hour.
But once fed its back on for the rest of the day.

Bike park Wales 5*!
Well worth a visit and the cafe is wonderful too and serves a particularly good carrot cake! The bike hire guys are very helpful and knowledgeable and will set the bikes up to you before you ride. The uplift of also great and very convenient for a full days riding.
What do you like?
Visited BPW in February and this was my first trip to a trail centre other than my local one. It was also my introduction to downhill riding and I can honestly say I loved every minute of it! Huge grins for the two days I was there and it really boosted my confidence in tackling more technical features. Will definitely visit again soon.

BP Wales is a highly sort after gravity bike park with plenty of fun to be had at pretty much all levels.If you like fast its a good buzz.I wont go on as I could say so much good stuff about the place and its always improving..I will say we need more upgrading trails reds of blacks to help people push there skills up and also short blacks of reds.maybe some slightly more technical blues and bigger jumps or add them to reds of blues.All in all if you like mountain biking you cant be disappointed with the place and its team.
What do you like?
Trail Variety
Quality cafe and Bike Shop
Great staff and willingness to advise and help
What could be improved?
Not much I can think of thats bad seems to improve each time i visit.hmm maybe could do with cafe doing baps all day! and also staggering breaks on the uplifts so the cafe isnt hit so hard in 1 go, and people can stay riding all day if they wish or break at different times.
