Description

One Giant Leap is a member-only club Downhill Mountain Bike Centre in Llangollen, Denbighshire, North Wales. Details on membership can be found on the website link below. They have five downhill tracks that range to cover all abilities and so the centre is progressive in nature. There is an uplift service (you need to book) that lets you get in around ten to twelve runs in a day.

Head through Froncysllte towards Llangollen. Approximately 2 miles before Llangollen pass the Llangollen Golf Club on the right below the road. 200 metres after the Golf Club take a left turn signposted Maesmawr Road. Pass through Maesmawr Estate and take a sharp left signposted UCLAN Outdoor Centre. Pass UCLAN and we are the farm after the black and white house on the left approx 1 mile after UCLAN.
  • From the North pass Wrexham towards Oswestry. When the dual carriageway splits, take the left lane towards Llangollen. Pass through Trevor towards Llangollen. Arrive in Llangollen and take a left turn at the Bridge End Hotel to pass over the bridge crossing the river Dee. At the traffic lights turn left and immediately turn right up the hill. Stay on the same road and pass the turning for Glyn Ceriog-do not take that turn. We are the second right turning after the Glyn Ceriog sign.
