Description

The Oneplanet Adventure, Coed Llandegla Mountain Biking Centre Trails are near Wrexham in North Wales. It has four MTB trails covering green, blue, red, and black gradings. There are also off-piste options like Natural Selection. The center including the cafe, bike shop and hire is managed by Oneplanet Adventure.

It also has a Skills Area, Bike Park, Dual Slalom run, and a Pump Track. 

Red: 18km

  • The Red 18km trail shares the same climb through the forest with the blue trail. When it splits off at the top of the forest, the longer red route sends you on a series of more technical challenges, with singletrack, steep sections, bermed switchbacks, water crossings, tabletops, and boardwalk. 

Black: 21km

  • There are a series of black runs (6km) that are accessible only from the Intermediate Route. Together, the red and black routes comprise 21km of trail. The black runs are steeper downhill stretches and they have much more challenging technical features like large steps, gaps, and drop-offs

Natural Selection - Off-Piste

  • Launched in April 2023 these are 4 technical natural feel (black graded) off-piste track options. Expect:
    - Narrow hand-cut singletrack trail
    - Exposed off-camber roots
    - Exposed bedrock and rock features
    - Tight steep corners
    - Natural, slippy surface
    - Steep shoots into narrow corners
    - Large drops (Inc the wallride at the end)

Blue 12km

  • The Blue is still 12km in length, and there is a gradual climb up through the forest until it splits with the Red, Route at the top of the forest. It is largely gradual downhill, interspersed with gentle uphill sections. This route also has a selection of small humps and other features to add a degree of challenge! 

Green: 5km

  • A waymarked route of approximately 5km has been developed specifically with families in mind. The route avoids major climbs and technical sections and concentrates on allowing families to experience off-road cycling in a fun and safe way. The surfaces encountered on this route are mainly hard-packed but there are sections that are loose, uneven, or muddy at times. The route allows riders to ascend gently from the car park, through the forest, and onto the reservoir, with its views of the Clwydian Range. After cycling around the reservoir, the route meanders back through the forest before the final descent which sweeps down to the Visitor Centre.

Skills Area, Free Ride Area, Pump Track

  • Status update Dec 2025: The Skills Area, Pump Track and Freeride Zone at Coed Llandegla are currently closed following forestry harvesting near the visitor centre. The closure forms part of a planned rebuild, with the centre stating: “We’ve dreamed for a long time of creating a brand-new, next-level Skills Zone. The recent harvesting has made this possible, and we’re grabbing the opportunity with both hands.” Plans for the new Skills Zone include 
    • a dedicated “Little Rippers” area
    • a coaching zone
    • new berms and drop-offs
    • new jump lines for a range of rider abilities

Dual Slalom

  • The dual Slalom has berms, jumps and bumps on near-identical tracks.

Very good, but a critical view needed.

The overall impression that you get from the above is that this is an excellent trail centre, which is not something which I disagree with, however, there is no mention of any of the obvious problems which the trails suffer from - namely the overall nature of them. The trails (blue, red and black) are set up as a single fire road climb, from the car park to the top of the hill, which then sets you off on a pretty fast and furious blast through the forest - this isn't problematic in and of itself, but you need to be aware of what you are letting yourself in for, if you don't like this more "downhill-lite" approach to mountain biking, and you prefer singletrack climbs and link ups, then Llandegla may not be for you. That aside - once you get to the top of the hill, the trails from then on are very good fun indeed, the blue is particularly notable as being particularly *fun* in the grade, and is where I will be taking my kids when they are old enough to slog up to the top of the route.

What do you like?

Excellent Blue Trail Well maintained Good all weather surface lots of other stuff to do (pump track, skills area etc.)

What could be improved?

Quite expensive parking wind up, blast down nature of the trails

Would you recommend?

Yes

llandegla

Its good, mainly wide and often busy but built to cope with the large numbers.

What do you like?

Really well made jumps, confidence giving for your normal rider. Good use of elevation, memorable sections.

What could be improved?

Last few hills really get you, always busy, not enough tight twisty stuff, takes a while to get going.

Would you recommend?

Yes

LLandegla Black New Sections

This trail has knocked the Whytes level off my top trail list to take pole position. It offers an optional set of black runs parallel to a red route. The terrain is woodland and the scenery very cool. I love the way shore joins places together and think the trail is really well built with flowing berms, tight corners,rows and rows of rollers and jumps that go on for ever. The new black line is amazing made up up rocky step ups, jumps and a great long line of shore. Overall a big mix of grin busting descents. Got to be tried. There is also a brill skills park for jumps, drops and pump. Top notch cafe and friendly folk.

What do you like?

Great descents, lots of fun wood, jump heaven, never boring, beautiful surroundings, brilliant bike cafe, shop and facilities.

What could be improved?

None except I live so far away. Actually I think the only think is the long initial long fireroad climb could be tad more interesting and the final descent doesn't seem to make up for the incredibly never ending climb at the end but this is geography at fault really. But seriously I am nit picking it's awesome

Would you recommend?

Yes
