ROOKIE 5.5km (with 2.2km blue extension) PENHYDD 14km BIKE PARK

BLUE SCAR 7km

This trail is designed for riders progressin­g from green to blue trails. There are a few technical sections to test your skills and a fun descent to the finish.

THE WALL 24km

Afan’s most famous trail traverses the north side of the valley. Fireroad climbs are interspers­ed with singletrac­k that varies from tight and techy to fast and flowy. The final descent is one of our favourites.

BLADE 24km

The replacemen­t for the old Skyline trail, Blade uses the White’s Level climb to access high parts of the forest before dropping back over the hill for a mega descent that’s full of rocky features.

WHITE’S LEVEL 17km

This trail is 90 per cent purpose-built singletrac­k and begins with a 6km climb to some great views over the Afan Valley. The descents have quite a bit of exposure in places, along with plenty of berms and rocky steps.

W2 44km

A massive trail and one to make sure you’re well prepared for before starting out. This route combines The Wall and White’s Level with a high and exposed linking section above the trees.
