The Tracks
There are nine trails, each offering approximately 100 metres of vertical descent. Trails range from flowing green and blue routes through to technical red and black lines, combining machine-built and hand-cut natural terrain, with a mix of flow and technical elements and a natural feel. There is also a progressive skills area with a drop zone and jump lines. The uplift service must be pre-booked through the website, as there is no push-up track.

A snapshot of what riders say about this trail
Riders describe Hafod as a compact, family-run bike park where the uplift trailer is one of the most talked-about features, reviewers repeatedly calling it the easiest and fastest they've used anywhere, with one saying "even my 6 year old can load his own bike." The on-site Grub Hub earns its own dedicated praise for food "hand prepped and cooked fresh every day," and coaching, including kids' and women-specific sessions, comes up often as a reason riders keep returning to build skill.
Across nine trails, from the flowing Peek A Blue to the more natural, off-piste-feeling singletrack of Space Melon and Ground Control, reviewers describe a network that's small but perfectly built, and a team that makes newcomers and regulars feel equally at home.
