A true hidden gem. Not the longest trail out there, 7km but you'll be hard pushed to find many out there that offer such a sweet singletrack descent. Pretty much one long climb before descending back to the car park. You'll be going back for at least one more lap, if not two. There's no cafe or bike shop, just a forestry car park so come prepared.

Fantastic bit of single track in mid Wales. I visited in October and other than the sheep, was the only one out. There's a decent car park at the bottom, a climb for 1.5 miles with some fantastic views of the valley below and then about 3 miles of decent single track for all abilities.
The trail is graded red, and, while there are some challenging sections, it's fairly easy to avoid these. It's short enough to go round several times and get some practice in.
I thoroughly recommended a detour to give this a go.

Great choice of bike paths and not over crowded. A lovely surprise at the end in the car park, when all the red kites where being fed and it was magical.

Short trail (4 miles). One climb followed by (mostly) one descent, with the option of a top loop. All weather trail with some standing water. Rated as red, which is fair due to some sections, but mostly blue.

Love the mountain bike route, really fast and open now. One climb up then a lovely continuous down hill with only minor undulations. The tanks return is a good but is currently a little wet.
Now comes the negative part of my review, I'm so happy with the trail it's the management of the resource that winds me up:
Not open yet, really dissatisfied with natural resources wales, who keep moving the date that the mountain bike trails will be open, we were told in November that this would be open (at least to locals) in February as it stands the route is still closed and the work has all been completed. Combine this with the fact that brechfa and abergorlech are closed off for repairs as well which leaves us nowhere in our local area to go mountain biking 😞

My favourite trail of all time, nice climb for a very rewarding decent. Brilliant scenery
