Get your fix of singletrack fun and downhill action at Cwmcarn’s mountain bike trails. Cwmcarn is less than half an hour’s drive from the Prince of Wales Bridge and just 10mins from J28 of the M4.<\/p>\n

The wild and more natural contouring singletrack trails are ‘Cafall’ and legendary ‘Twrch Trail’. Both Red graded trails will keep you firmly focused on your riding, but stop for a breather and look about and you\u2019ll be looking out over the Bristol Channel.<\/p>\n

Sometimes mountain bike trails are closed or diverted whilst maintenance work or other operations are underway at Cwmcarn Forest. Please follow any diversion signs or instructions from staff on site. For information on current closures or trail diversions, go to the Natural Resources Wales website by following this link – https:\/\/naturalresources.wales\/days-out\/places-to-visit\/south-east-wales\/cwm-carn-forest\/?lang=en<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
