Agree with Nant-Yr-Arian being on the list. It was my second home whilst I was at Aberystwyth Uni. Good for a quick blast, or a nice pedal. Nice trail centre facilities too. Recommend you take your camera too for the views and Red Kites!

On the other side of things, Llandegla is very highly recommended too (near Wrexham). It’s man-made, but is great for times when you don’t want to navigate and just want to have a bit of fun. Their Pump Track is a good laugh, but the skills area is a little wanting – but is a new addition, so will hopefully improve. Oh, and if you’re not a vegetarian, their bacon sandwiches are good too.

It’s always the way with these things but I would have definitely included ClimachX, apparently it’s got the longest descent of any man-made trail in the UK.

If you’re heading all the way to Brechfa, then Cwm Rhyader (sorry Welsh speakers if I’ve misspelled that!) is well worth a diversion. It’s short but hella fun. There’s good natural riding around there too, although it’s a bit weather-dependent.

Penmachno is another great trail that seems to be a bit underpromoted.

There are 2 trails at Cwmcarn, the black downhill section and also the red twrch trail.
