Green
- The 4km green is flat with wide paths, tarmac in places, or rolled stone. Hybrid bikes and basic mountain bikes are suitable for this trail or hire a pedal go-cart from Margam Park Adventure. There are adapted carts as well making this trail inclusive and accessible to all.
Blue
- The 5km blue has challenging climbs that lead to a downhill single-track section. There are berms, bridges, a small drop-down gulley, some rollers, and rooty sections.
Red
- The 4km red has challenging short climbs, tricky descents with large berms, wooden features, drop-offs, and some rocky sections. Can be 6-8km with the blue or black sections added.
Black
- The black contains steep and tough gradients with a mix of natural terrain and technical trail features such as berms, switchbacks, rocks, and drop-offs, etc. It is 5.5km long.
Other Stuff
- The council intended to open the Black trail for events only and it was that way for years but thankfully decided, in the end, to make it available for all. The Black trail was designed and built by On Track trailbuilders
