Mountain Biking in Wales

Here is a list of the top five mountain bike parks in Wales;

1. If you would like to explore the gorgeous landscape of Snowdonia National Park by mountain bike, we recommend going to Coed-y-Brenin, where nine routes of all-weather single tracks are waiting for you.

Where to Stay
After a day on the bike and returning to one of the luxury holiday cottages at Pale Hall Hotel will be heaven. Other options include Luxury Guesthouses and B&Bs.

2. Dyfi Bike Park offers 650 acres of diverse tracks in the heart of Dyfi Forest. If you are looking for elevation paired with long descents, what’s stopping you from taking a leap and making some great memories.

Where to Stay
Dyfi Bike Park is only a short hop from Coed-y-Brenin; therefore, our accommodation recommendation matches, see above.

3. Tucked away at the foot of the Berwyn Mountains, you can find Revolution Bike Park, which encompasses 120 acres of woodland. The place features ten downhill and freeride trails that create a challenge for every visitor.

Where to Stay
The Revolution Park Bike sits in a stunning valley and short walk to a couple of low-cost country inns. The Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Spa offers comfortable rooms with spectacular views across the lake and is only a 25-minutes drive to the bike park. Pale Hall Hotel is just 30 minutes drive and is highly recommended for those who love a high-end restaurant experience. 

4. The Black Mountains Cycle Centre combines the thrill of the downhill and freeride centre with the stunning beauty of nature in the Black Mountains.

Where to Stay
Llangoed Hall Hotel is perfectly located for activities in the Black Mountain region of the Brecon Beacons National Park. You will appreciate the relaxing mood of the hotel, with fine food and roaring fireplaces.

Gliffaes Country House Hotel is only a 35-minute drive to the Black Mountains Cycle Centre.  This classic country hotel has 23 traditional decorated rooms. The restaurant offers modern cooking with locally sourced produce. The sublime Four Falls Trail, a wonderful waterfall hike, is a short drive away.

5. Bike Park Wales is a newcomer on the mountain bike park scene in Wales yet has already named itself a popular facility in the UK. Having 40 tracks for riders of every level makes it one of South Wales’ biggest and best purpose-built downhill riding centres.

Where to Stay
Bike Park Wales is a 35-minute drive to the Capital, Cardiff. Hotel Indigo Cardiff is modern and chic. Marco Pierre White steakhouse bar and grill is a cool place to hang out and drink or eat or both. Again, Gliffaes Country Hotel and Llangoed Hall Hotel are also options when using this bike park.
