    The trails are really nice with the exception for the really annoying gate's at every start and finish of each single track(picture below). Not entirely sure what's the purpose of them except making you ride super not fun and stress. I assume they are there to prevent dirt bikes using the MTB trails, but most of them are so tight that getting a modern MTB with 148 mm axel through them can be a hassle. From this perspective it's the most annoying place I ever ridden. Apart this the trails are really nice and fun with nice view's. Unless you wanna pedal al day avoid Skyline loop. It's 51km 90% of pedaling not much descending and a million of those annoying gate's/fences. But it offers nice view's.

    Popped into Afan A Blast (Bike Shop) before setting off. The staff there are very welcoming and have fantastic mtb knowledge as well as knowledge of the trails. Then headed off for my first time ever on White's Level, what a trail. Its a bit rocky and techy in places, but it pays off with the long flowy sections. Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to come back when the weather is good to enjoy the views even more so than I did today in overcast conditions.

    Lovely Cafe, really helpful bike shop. Even a camp site! Facilities are top notch. Trails are pretty good we did whites level which is a good mix including a boardwalk section. We had a great day, and my mate got his wheel mended too

    Great hub to get you into the forest park. Lovely cafe with friendly team, sir and camping facilities, bike hire and service. Hard to imagine wanting much more. Go and give your support to the businesses there!

    Awesome place to ride from and they have a nice little cafe for afterwards! Bike shop is good too but only open certain times. Lots of parking, I think it's about a quid for the day. The trails are amazing for MTB.... Lots of variety with a mega climb up right out of the card park!

    Great Cafe with great food! we aren't mountain bikers but we went here to walk in September 2021 (at the end of the season). After walking for several hours (we didn't see many bikers) we ended up at the mountain bike centre at Glyncorrwg for lunch. The cafe looked interesting and we were in need of refreshment. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The menu was extensive and we settled on tuna mayo sandwich and a bacon bap (both on brown bread). Both were generous, especially the tuna sandwich could only be described as a doorstep, and very good value. Thank you to the staff for a very good experience. If we ever get back this way we will return.

    Excellent place for mountain biking and camping. Great crew who runs things here, very friendly and they really do their best to accommodate. Good cafe too with varied food options and local drinks. Quality of bikes for hire is super. Definitely recommend paying a visit. Very good value for money. Facilities cleaned regularly.

    Cafe is well priced with friendly staff. Breakfast was spot on and fuelled a W2 ride. Very near the start of the trails as well

    Thanks to the shop and cafe they have provided pre-ride and post-ride from forgotten helmets, gloves and water bottles to much needed sustenance after a long day in the saddle. Great people and always have time for a chat. The walks have also been good for when I have my wife with me as she doesn’t ride. There’s also a campsite next to the mountain bike centre, cafe and shop.

    A little gem for being in the middle of nowhere. Cafe sells a fair few options including vegan and sell proper coffee and alcohol. The bike shop isnt massive but is well stocked. The entire setup is really nice and the bike trails are a bonus.

    Great mountain biking place. The staff in the caffee and bike shop are friendly. Lot of information about trails are available outside on the information boards. There is a paid carpark in front of the bike centre. Big climb on the begging but it is definitely worth it. There is a big selection of different trails on offer. Beautiful scenery, challenging single track trails and fire roads make a great day out. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy the beautiful Welsh valleys on your mountain bike.

    I have been coming to Afan Forest Park, for at least 15 years. It very easily has some of the best MTB trails in the whole of the UK. Glyncorrwg Ponds is a great Campsite with good facilities including a Bike Shop & a lovely Restaurant.
