Cwm Rhaeadr
Named after the waterfall in the forest, Cwm Rhaeadr has gained a reputation for fast riding and great views. The route begins with a 2.5km gentle forest road climb, until you emerge at the head of the valley, from here admire the waterfall and catch your breath before you charge downhill along the technical singletrack that winds its way through the forest. There’s singletrack, turns, jumps and drop offs as you fly through the trees on the 3.5km downhill route. Although a short route, it’s well worth a ride, the magazines all like it, with great reviews. Ride it twice if you want a longer route.
