Widely considered some of the best singletrack descents in the UK, this trail essentially traverses the North side of the Afan Valley on singletrack, varying from fast, open, and flowing, to tight, technical, and rooty.
Oh! and there’s also a couple of killer climbs too, can’t be all fun, hence “The Wall”!
Great views of the valley and coastline open out at different points, and in places the steep-sided slopes can feel exposed.
The approach to the singletrack shares a section of the low level family cycleway and the disused railway line, so please ride with consideration for the many other forest users.
