Local Mountain Bike Trails

Bike Brechfa on the doorstep of the new Brechfa forest trails

BRECHFA FOREST TRAILS

Black Route

The black Raven trail is now open and ready to be ridden. We love the Raven trail - with a mixture of hard climbs, natural singletrack, roots, rock gardens, berms, table tops and much more ... there is something for everyone, with easier options for the first timer and sections to test even the most experienced of riders time and again. The Raven is a real tester of your very best riding skills I'm sure you'll find yourself wanting to session the Jump park or Qualifier.

Low log North Shore - Raven Route

Red Route

The red Gorlech trail is fast becoming a classic on the Welsh trail centre network with its fast berm sections and awesome pump and jump style of trail. A bit different from the other trails in Wales, it offers berms, tabletops and long swooping descents ... there are easy options around the tricky stuff if you are building up your skills. The big climbs are rewarded with great views and incredible downhills that can only be described as a work of art. A trail you can ride over an over, it'll ride differently every time.

Green & Blue Route

The green and blue (an extension of the green) Derwen trail is a really good ride, it's a great introduction to riding at Brechfa and we love it! This route pumps and jumps through the lower levels of the forest keeping climbing to a minimum but also rewarding the efforts you do put in. A real 'fun for all' trail, it's worth riding what ever your skill level. Don't be surprised to find yourselves riding with everyone, from young families to experienced mountain bikers. www.mbwales.com
