Bridge Over the Afon Mawddach

Highlight • Bridge

A small spectacular bridge over the Afon Mawddach. It's used by several of the mountain bike trails as well as runners and walkers so keep an eye out. Great views in both directions, look out for people panning for gold in the river!

Coed y Brenin Visitor Centre

Highlight • Parking

Coed y Brenin was Britain's first purpose-built mountain biking center and it remains one of the sport's top destinations.
Eight purpose-built mountain bike trails start at the visitor center and range from easy trails for families and beginners to technical trails for experienced mountain bikers. Other facilities for mountain bikers include a bike shop and a skills room where you can develop your riding techniques.
The visitor center is also the starting point for walking and running trails through the Coed y Brenin Forest Park, as well as orienteering courses and geocaching.
Two of the walking routes are suitable for visitors who use an off-road mobility scooter.
There are also children's play areas, a café and plenty of picnic tables.

Flightpath (Black) — Tarw Du Trail, Coed y Brenin

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

A rocky, narrow singletrack through the tall trees, Flightpath is a section of the black-rated Tarw Du trail to the west of the Coed y Brenin trail centre.

Expect some stony features and a wonderful set of corners to finish as you drop down onto the fire road.

Dream Time Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

This is a stunning section of red trail from the original UK trail centre. An oldie but a goodie!

The trail is gently downhill with nothing too technical, but the berms and rocky singletrack make this a really brilliant section of the trail network in the forest park.
