Mountain Biking

Neath Port Talbot is one of the best places to ride in Wales, with trails that suit beginners right through to seasoned riders. Our established trails at Afan Forest Park, alongside the newer routes at Margam Country Park, give you the space and variety to grow your confidence. Whether you are starting out on family friendly green routes or ready to test yourself on red and black lines, there is a trail here that will push your skills and reward you with unforgettable views.

Afan Forest Park is at the heart of mountain biking in the region and offers some of the finest riding in the UK. With 6 flowing trails ranging from 7 kilometres to more than 40 kilometres in length, plus an extreme graded bike park, Afan has more all weather singletrack than any other centre in Wales. These trails take you through forest, over ridges and down fast, technical descents, giving riders plenty of choice whether they want steady progression or full adrenalin.

Over at Margam Country Park, riders will find a growing network of trails that wind through historic parkland and wooded slopes. The Margam Deer Mountain Bike Trail offers routes for all levels, from family friendly green paths to blue, red and black options that build towards more technical riding. It is a great place for mixed ability groups and riders looking to step up through the grades.  Cycling in Neath Port Talbot extends far beyond the mountain bike centres, so you can explore even more routes on our dedicated cycling page.
