        Are you up
            for it?
         If you like riding challenging singletrack trails, you’ll love
               Afan Forest Park. With over 100km of singletrack,
               Afan Forest Park is the home of four world class trails:
               White’s Level, Skyline, W2 and Y Wâl.
               Each of the trails offer a unique challenge. Skyline is a
               giant of a ride with dramatic views of the Brecon Beacons,
               the Preselis, the Black Mountains and the South Wales
               coast. In contrast, White’s Level is 90% purpose-built
               singletrack that requires technical riding skill (and a big
               set of lungs at the start).
               The trails start and finish from Afan Forest Park Visitor
               Centre and Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre (further up
               the Afan Valley). Both venues have a car park, cafe and
               in-house facilities catering for all your biking needs.
               There is also a low level cycle trail called ‘Y Rheilffordd’
               that can be used as a link between all trails and venues
               within the park.

  Barod i roi
cynnig arni?
    Os ydych chi’n hoffi beicio ar hyd llwybrau trac sengl heriol, byddwch
             chi wrth eich bodd ym Mharc Coedwig Afan. Gyda mwy na 100km
             o drac sengl, mae Parc Coedwig Afan yn gartref i bedwar o lwybrau
             gorau’r byd: White’s Level, Skyline, W2 ac Y Wâl.
             Mae pob un o’r llwybrau hyn yn cynnig her unigryw. Cawr o reid
             yw Skyline, gyda’i golygfeydd syfrdanol dros Fannau Brycheiniog,
             Mynyddoedd Preseli, y Mynyddoedd Du ac arfordir De Cymru.
             Mae White’s Level ar y llaw arall yn drac sengl y cafodd 90% ohono
             ei deilwra’n bwrpasol i brofi sgiliau technegol y beiciwr (a bydd
             angen ysgyfaint anferth ar y dechrau).
             Mae’r llwybrau’n dechrau ac yn gorffen yng Nghanolfan Ymwelwyr
             Parc Coedwig Afan a Chanolfan Beicio Mynydd Glyncorrwg
             (ymhellach i fyny Cwm Afan). Mae gan y ddau le faes parcio, caffé a
             chyfleusterau ar y safle i ddarparu ar gyfer holl anghenion y beiciwr.
             Mae yna lwybr beicio lefel isel hefyd o’r enw ‘Y Rheilffordd’ y gellir ei
             ddefnyddio fel ffordd gyswllt rhwng y gwahanol lwybrau a safleoedd
             i gyd yn y parc.

                     Need for
                       speed?
     This is the destination for all you downhill adrenaline junkies.
                   The Y Mynydd course consists of two man-made downhill
                   trails, simply named red run and black run. The course
                   demands a high level of skill (and guts).
                   You’ll be challenged with loads of berms, a few switch
                   backs, doubles, a tunnel, rock steps, the bridge, hip jump
                   and the quarry gap. The jumps are there if you want them,
                   but can be ridden around if not. An uplift pass is available
                   at www.cwmdown.co.uk.
                   Cwmcarn is also home of the Twrch Trail, a 15.5km
                   singletrack loop that provides a steep climb at the start
                   followed by a rollercoaster decline.
                   The Twrch Trail and uplift service start from the car park.

3   brechfa




 First timers?
Eich tro cyntaf?
        The trails in Brechfa Forest offer something for novice riders but
                   also cater for those who crave a more demanding venture.
                   Located on the brink of the brooding Cambrian Mountains
                   with views of the green Towy Valley, this huge forest in
                   Carmarthenshire has all weather surfaces and is perfect all
                   year round (sun, snow, storms... we go out in anything).
                   The Derwen trail consists of two routes; a green route for
                   novice riders and a blue route that can be used to improve
                   your technical skills. The Raven and Gorlech trails are
                   aimed at more advanced riders with jumps, fast singletrack,
                   a Northshore Bridge and testing climbs.
                   In terms of diversity of trails, it has it all!

       Mae gan y llwybrau yng Nghoedwig Brechfa ddigon i’w gynnig
                   i feicwyr newydd, ond maen nhw’n darparu hefyd ar gyfer y
                   rhai sy’n chwenychu menter sy’n fwy o her.
                   Yn y goedwig anferth hon yn Sir Gaerfyrddin ar ymylon
                   arucheledd Mynyddoedd Cambria, a chanddi olygfeydd
                   dros lesni Dyffryn Tywi, mae arwynebau’r llwybrau’n addas
                   ar gyfer pob tywydd. Mae’n berffaith trwy gydol y flwyddyn
                   felly (heulwen, eirfa, stormydd... awn ni allan boed hindda
                   neu ddrycin).
                   Mae Llwybr Derwen yn cynnwys dau lwybr: llwybr gwyrdd i
                   egin reidwyr a llwybr glas lle gallwch chi wella eich sgiliau
                   technegol. Bwriedir Llwybr y Gigfran a Llwybr Gorlech ar
                   gyfer beicwyr mwy profiadol ac uchelgeisiol, gyda’u
                   neidiau, trac sengl cyflym, Pont Glan y Gogledd a
                   dringfeydd go ddyrys.
                   Mae popeth ar gael yma, o ran amrywiaeth llwybrau!

  • 4. 1 Afan Forest ParK PARC COEDWIG AFAN Are you up for it? If you like riding challenging singletrack trails, you’ll love Afan Forest Park. With over 100km of singletrack, Afan Forest Park is the home of four world class trails: White’s Level, Skyline, W2 and Y Wâl. Each of the trails offer a unique challenge. Skyline is a giant of a ride with dramatic views of the Brecon Beacons, the Preselis, the Black Mountains and the South Wales coast. In contrast, White’s Level is 90% purpose-built singletrack that requires technical riding skill (and a big set of lungs at the start). The trails start and finish from Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre and Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre (further up the Afan Valley). Both venues have a car park, cafe and in-house facilities catering for all your biking needs. There is also a low level cycle trail called ‘Y Rheilffordd’ that can be used as a link between all trails and venues within the park.

  • 6. 1 Afan Forest ParK PARC COEDWIG AFAN Barod i roi cynnig arni? Os ydych chi’n hoffi beicio ar hyd llwybrau trac sengl heriol, byddwch chi wrth eich bodd ym Mharc Coedwig Afan. Gyda mwy na 100km o drac sengl, mae Parc Coedwig Afan yn gartref i bedwar o lwybrau gorau’r byd: White’s Level, Skyline, W2 ac Y Wâl. Mae pob un o’r llwybrau hyn yn cynnig her unigryw. Cawr o reid yw Skyline, gyda’i golygfeydd syfrdanol dros Fannau Brycheiniog, Mynyddoedd Preseli, y Mynyddoedd Du ac arfordir De Cymru. Mae White’s Level ar y llaw arall yn drac sengl y cafodd 90% ohono ei deilwra’n bwrpasol i brofi sgiliau technegol y beiciwr (a bydd angen ysgyfaint anferth ar y dechrau). Mae’r llwybrau’n dechrau ac yn gorffen yng Nghanolfan Ymwelwyr Parc Coedwig Afan a Chanolfan Beicio Mynydd Glyncorrwg (ymhellach i fyny Cwm Afan). Mae gan y ddau le faes parcio, caffé a chyfleusterau ar y safle i ddarparu ar gyfer holl anghenion y beiciwr. Mae yna lwybr beicio lefel isel hefyd o’r enw ‘Y Rheilffordd’ y gellir ei ddefnyddio fel ffordd gyswllt rhwng y gwahanol lwybrau a safleoedd i gyd yn y parc.

  • 8. 2 cwmcarn Need for speed? This is the destination for all you downhill adrenaline junkies. The Y Mynydd course consists of two man-made downhill trails, simply named red run and black run. The course demands a high level of skill (and guts). You’ll be challenged with loads of berms, a few switch backs, doubles, a tunnel, rock steps, the bridge, hip jump and the quarry gap. The jumps are there if you want them, but can be ridden around if not. An uplift pass is available at www.cwmdown.co.uk. Cwmcarn is also home of the Twrch Trail, a 15.5km singletrack loop that provides a steep climb at the start followed by a rollercoaster decline.

  • 12. 3 brechfa First timers? Eich tro cyntaf? The trails in Brechfa Forest offer something for novice riders but also cater for those who crave a more demanding venture. Located on the brink of the brooding Cambrian Mountains with views of the green Towy Valley, this huge forest in Carmarthenshire has all weather surfaces and is perfect all year round (sun, snow, storms... we go out in anything). The Derwen trail consists of two routes; a green route for novice riders and a blue route that can be used to improve your technical skills. The Raven and Gorlech trails are aimed at more advanced riders with jumps, fast singletrack, a Northshore Bridge and testing climbs. In terms of diversity of trails, it has it all! Mae gan y llwybrau yng Nghoedwig Brechfa ddigon i’w gynnig i feicwyr newydd, ond maen nhw’n darparu hefyd ar gyfer y rhai sy’n chwenychu menter sy’n fwy o her. Yn y goedwig anferth hon yn Sir Gaerfyrddin ar ymylon arucheledd Mynyddoedd Cambria, a chanddi olygfeydd dros lesni Dyffryn Tywi, mae arwynebau’r llwybrau’n addas ar gyfer pob tywydd. Mae’n berffaith trwy gydol y flwyddyn felly (heulwen, eirfa, stormydd... awn ni allan boed hindda neu ddrycin). Mae Llwybr Derwen yn cynnwys dau lwybr: llwybr gwyrdd i egin reidwyr a llwybr glas lle gallwch chi wella eich sgiliau technegol. Bwriedir Llwybr y Gigfran a Llwybr Gorlech ar gyfer beicwyr mwy profiadol ac uchelgeisiol, gyda’u neidiau, trac sengl cyflym, Pont Glan y Gogledd a dringfeydd go ddyrys. Mae popeth ar gael yma, o ran amrywiaeth llwybrau!
