Skyline & W2 will be closed on Wednesday 3rd December & Saturday 6th December for the Wales Rally GB. The Wall & Penhydd are not affected: diversions will also be in place on White's Level.

The mountain bike trails here totalling over 100km are sponsored by npower renewables who have made a major financial commitment towards trail maintenance and development.

The original Afan trail is the 17km loop of the Penhydd trail, a mix of tightly twisting singletrack, fantastic views and awesome descents through the Hidden Valley, Sidewinder and Dead Sheep Gully sections.

The Wall trail is a swooping 24km mainly singletrack loop with epic views and breathtaking descents to keep your heart pumping all the way round. Watch out for The Graveyard section and hang on for the searingly fast final descent.

The White’s Level Trail is a challenging 6km sheep singletrack climb, followed by an adrenalin pumping mix of rock drops, step sections, berms and cliff traverses. Check out the new section of that’s being built.

The epic Skyline Trail is the most recent addition to the area, 46km long and over 2000m of climbs and descents. Stunning ridgeline scenery and a roller coaster final descent on Jetlag with drop offs and steps will remind you what you came for. A serious piece of trail for experienced and fit riders, not for the faint hearted but well worth the effort!
