Mountain biking trails

"From retro, rocky, classics to modern contemporary trails, there are rides to satisfy first timers to seasoned pros" Coed Y Brenin Forest Park has to be on every Mountain Bikers wish list as a must visit centre - sitting within the Snowdonia National Park it was the first purpose built mountain bike centres in the UK.
Home to eight trails, a skills area and bike hire and retail shop - it's legendary!

Gwydir Mawr Trail

25 kilometres, grade red

Gwydir Mawr has big climbs, big descents and brilliant singletrack. Most of the climbs are on forest roads and tracks giving time to take in the mountain views. The descents are on singletrack which varies from very tight, technical and rocky to open and flowing.

Gwydir Bach Trail

8.7 kilometres, grade red

Gwydir Bach is the little sister to Gwydir Mawr but its two big climbs lead to the best descents of the whole trail. The singletrack varies from very traditional tight, technical and rocky to open and flowing, with a few modern features thrown in.

And then for those extreme rides - including the Red Bullers amongst you there's the uplift and downhill MTB trails at Antur Stiniog

Offering seven fantastic downhill mtb trails, graded blue to black and the best mountain bike uplift service in the UK, some even say in the world!
