Test your biking skills to the limit in a nation of famous valleys, sumptuous woodland and dramatic mountains. MTB trails in Wales are epic and very much established as some of the best in the UK.

From undulating courses around its hilly heartland and the sweeping escarpments of the Brecon Beacons to routes through the forests and mountains of Snowdonia, which embrace some heart-pounding climbs and exhilarating descents, there’s bound to be the perfect trail for you. Mountain bike trails in Wales take full advantage of the nation’s natural splendour, as well as landscapes compellingly altered by its industrial heritage.

Experience wild, natural trails through the uplands or head for any one of the numerous purpose-built bike parks boasting every grade from pleasant greens to the gnarliest of blacks. Despite this variety of terrain and challenge, they all have the consistently beautiful Welsh countryside in common.
