ポントプレンネのバイクパーク・トップ12

This area is also great for some technical trail running. Plenty of footpaths meander around the hills.

Very helpful staff who kindly refilled our water bottles - also pointed out that on entering the main carpark there is a public tap next to the unit/toilets on the left.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, very much recommended.

My favourite sector of the Pedalhounds DH track, head into the woodlands for some steeper trails down this hill cleave with plenty of features along the way. The first is a drop over a log into a left-hand corner, before a series of steeper swoops. Then there's a tricky left hander (again with roots, of course) into a larger drop, before some more fantastic corners, roots and another, even larger drop. The drops have great, downhill landings but the final few are not rollable.

Look for the arch to start riding at Cwmcarn, which marks the start of the red-rated Twrch and Cafall trails. Here you'll also find trail maps and information for these two trails, as well as the two downhill trails, Y Mynydd and Pedalhounds, which are higher up the hill.

You'll be surprised by how flowy an uphill segment can be through the woods here! It swoops up and down along through the woodland with a few rooty sections and an optional skinny to tackle too. The corners back down to the fire road here are a real blast after all the pedalling.

Can get pretty busy during the day in the summer, however there's a good selection of snacks, food and drink available.

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.
