AFAN SKYLINE SOUTH WALES CLASSIC REOPENS
Mountain Biking UK|February 2022
Afan Forest’s 45km Skyline trail, beloved of hardcore cross-country riders, is back and better than ever, after being closed to mountain bikers for nearly 10 years.
AFAN SKYLINE SOUTH WALES CLASSIC REOPENS

Starting from the Glyncorrwg MTB Centre, the red-graded route is a long-distance gem for riders who like a challenge. It was shut in 2012, to allow construction of the Pen y Cymoedd wind farm – the biggest onshore farm in England and Wales, with 76 turbines. Then, Natural Resources Wales took the opportunity to improve the trail before reopening it.
