Brechfa Forest

Brechfa Forest has three mountain bike trails designed by the famous rider and trial designer, Rowan Sorrell. The 22km Gorlech red route provides a hard, fast, all weather surface which becomes more and more exciting as your skill level and speed progresses. The MTB trail successfully mixes a scenic route with sculpted berms and huge switchbacks, step up jumps and tabletops.

The 20km Raven black route includes the longest single span pole bridge in the UK, (15 meters long, 6 meters above the ground), rock gardens, low shore and sections of natural trail.

The 9.2 km Derwen green route is designed for inexperienced mountain bike riders and family groups. Weaving through the forest you will encounter steady climbs and fun descents.
