Coed y Brenin is a truly epic trail centre. The first of its kind it has continued to develop and keep at the forefront of its game. The terrain is rocky and the ups and the descents can be quite technical. It has loads of flowing grin factor as well as some decent gnarl to keep you on your toes. The MBR is my favourite. The top descent is rocky and tricky and the final shared descent a blast. The new skills centre is top of the range and has progression in its DNA. There is always new stuff in the pipeline. Andy the ranger and the team should be proud of the work here. There are not many centres I give a 5 out of 5 for.
What do you like?
- large choice of trails
- full weekends riding
- lots of variety
- new development always ongoing

Didn't expect such a big complex when first arrived. Visited antur stiniog on the Saturday, coed y brenin (beast) on the sunday..... Wish I did more research, well worth an entire weekend visit!!
What do you like?
Massive complex with lots of facilities
Lots of trail choice
Good skills area
We rode The Beast, and what a trail that is. I have never ridden anything like it, and probably never will. Gives you a massive sense of achievement after a hard and fun day of riding. The little food stop halfway round is an absolute life saver, excelent food served by some really friendly people. Ill no doubt be talking about this for months and il definately be coming back.
What do you like?
Excelent variety of trail sections, nice and technical going up as well as down!
Good coffee and bacon sarnies to commiserate having tried to a bike from an absolute bell peice.
What could be improved?
1) a Bike Shop that 'rents' bikes out should have biked to rent. Fair enough if they're taken, but when a bearded, smug, crettin of a Bike Shop assistant thinks it's a great idea to go wild swimming instead in 4 degrees you're gonna be angry.
2) suggest a bloody alternative instead of saying there are none. We found one fairly quickly.
3) i still can't get over how much of a tosser the guy in the Bike Shop wad
Rode the dragons back with a mate while the minis played on the play park and had a walk. Loved it all, even the long climb in the middle. The section called "dreamtime (I think) at the start was brilliant and set up the days riding. Enjoyed the Adams family sections the most and battered down them on the HT. Will be coming back for a long weekends riding.
What do you like?
