Nice ascent from Crosskeys, but watch out for very overgrown pathways on the Machen side. Great views from the top!

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

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, very much recommended.

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

plenty of free parking in Machen next to the village hall and library

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.
