It's hard to find fault with Bikepark Wales, in my humble opinion! I've spent so many Saturdays there this year I've lost count!! Trails are so varied and well thought out, and seemingly constantly being added to. Facilities are excellent, Cafe very cosy and tasty grub! The staff that I have encountered (Cafe, Desk, Bike Shop, Drivers, coaches...even the directors!! :) ) are all so very friendly, which I think matters a hell of a lot!! Uplift is great, even on the non priority queue, it didn't seem to take too long to get on. Views are amazing! Photos taken by Airshotz are great quality and really well priced! Etc etc. One perfect indicator of the appeal of BPW is to sit on the uplift bus and listen to the various accents from all over the UK, and beyond!! All in all, the best place to ride in South, or probably any other part, of Wales

Amazing

Just to add my praise to everyone else's....Bike Park Wales is fantastic and I would encourage any rider rider in the UK, of almost any ability, to come here for a day of uplift. We've been 6 times since it opened and bar a slight false start (climbing beast of burden with a banging hangover is not a good idea) we've loved every trip! Our skills have come on more in one day of uplift here then anywhere else, and the variety of trails is excellent, one trip we went with a friend who's a DH'er, we spend our day on our hard tails on the blues, he spend them on his DH bike on the blacks, we'd meet after every run at the uplift and swap stories on the way back up (his were more impressive). To top it off they keep adding new trails, 50 Shades of Black is a million miles away from our skill level, but Terry's Belly is amazing and one of my new favorite trails anywhere.The coaching is really good too. Can't recommend enough.

Essentially a ski resort, but for mountain biking

More of this kind of thing please!

What do you like?

Amazing fun. Every run down is grin-inducing. Good variety for most skill levels and bikes. I mostly stuck to the reds and blues, but did try a few of the short black runs. Terry's Belly, Vicous Valley and A470 were my favourites. Didn't try Dai Hard or Enter the Dragon, cos neither my bike nor skills were up to that. Probably need more travel/bigger balls. Managed to cycle uphill 3 times and then gave in and got the uplift service. If you're very fit, you might be able to get 5-6 runs on pedal power alone. You certainly don't need a long-travel full suss bike to have fun here, but it does help. I was on a 120mm FS bike and saw plenty of hard-tails. Nice cafe. Parking included in the price of a ride (Β£6 per day).

What could be improved?

Uplift service seems a little expensive (~Β£30 for a day pass, or Β£4 a pop). Be warned - if you have the slightest mechanical weakness in your bicycle, this place will tear it apart with minimal sympathy. Your hands and wrists will hurt!

Would you recommend?

Yes
