With all its hills and mountains, Wales may not seem the place to own a bicycle. But more and more people are looking for the thrills and spills of mountain biking and rough terrain.
Caerphilly has a world renowned venue at the foot of Twm Barlwm (well on the side, actually). Cwmcarn Forest Mountain Bike Trails, near Crosskeys.
The 'Twrch Trail' route is on a purpose built singletrack. In places the trail hugs the sides of some very steep wooded side slopes, demanding concentration, whilst in others it sweeps along open groung giving you the change of dramatic views of the Bristol Channel.
The 'y Mynydd Downhill' is one of the best downhill venues in the UK and not for the faint-hearted.
Motorists can also enjoy Cwmcarn Forest Drive. The roadway zigzags amongst the forest giving spectacular views and tempting picnic areas.
Cwmcarn Forest is part of Cognation, mtb trails South Wales.
