Pont Banog Trail – Gwydir Mawr (Marin) Trail

Highlight • Trail

This & Coed y Brenin (CYB) are possibly the two oldest man made trails in the U.K. The ones where it all started. This trail used to be called & still is by many including myself the "Marin Trail". Over the past year or so, many really cool additions have been made to this trail to ensure it remains as one of the U.K's best riding trails which include clear signage. If you like proper old skool then this is the place for you. The Trail Pixies have managed to maintain the original feel & yet increase the fun factor in every area unlike CYB but I'm basically a dinosaur who has never got over CYB moving to the other side of the road with it's fancy visitor centre. Nothing will ever beat Daffyd Davies' (MTB Godfather) original cafe for that other worldly experience of the old trail centre. One thing to Mention about this train it has no facilities other than parking. There's no toilets, no parking charges not even an honesty box! Happy days, you can always grab a bite in Llanwryst just down the road & boost the local economy. So be prepared for an endless climb at the start, wicked single track, awesome views, plenty of technical stuff & quite a few fire road sections. Take plenty of hydration, a mobile phone, a bite to eat & spare tube & chain link at the very least let someone know where you are going as you are away from civilisation. My biggest tip, stay for a weekend & ride not only this trail but also it's two near neighbour's Penmachno (my favourite trail bar none) & CYB. Go on chase the Welsh Dragon, you know you want to 👹🤙🤘😎

A cosy small tearoom in Capel Curig. Incredible cakes, good coffee and light meals served by friendly staff. The garden outside is beautiful and full of bee friendly plants.
