Cwmcarn is a hub of MTBing in South Wales. As well as the Twrch and Cafall trail centre loops, the Y Mynydd downhill track is an adrenaline-packed descent of fast rocky straights, tight turns and big jumps! It's uplift serviced on the weekend too, for more info, head to: cwmdown.co.uk

Mountain biking

Great single track. If you want the track to yourself, mid week and early is best. On a ebike it takes between 1.0 and 1.5 hours to get around it. I guess between 1.5 and 3.0 hours on a mountain bike without a motor, giving you plenty of time to tackle the CAFALL trail which is about the same length and starts from the same place. It is a red trail, but not particularly technical.
