BikePark Wales

BikePark Wales near Merthyr Tydfil is the UK’s biggest and most diverse mountain bike park, set up so you can focus on the fun part, the descents. BikePark Wales has a network of purpose-built mountain bike trails, all clearly graded, with uplift and on-site facilities so you can spend the day riding laps rather than pedalling or planning routes.

More than 50 graded trails drop from the top of Mynydd Gethin, from beginner-friendly green and blue flow to technical black runs and expert lines, all waymarked so you can pick your level. Most riders use the minibus uplift service to maximise time on the trails, but you can also reach the summit via an e-bike pedal or for the more hardcore, by pedalling up under your own steam.

On site you will find a bike shop with workshop and fresh kit to buy, a café with delicious breakfast and lunch options for fuelling the ride, free parking and toilets, plus coaching sessions and kids’ options on selected days. Check the BikePark Wales website for opening days, coaching, bike & equipment hire and uplift or pedal passes.
