Ten years ago, Afan was the most important UK mountain bike destination south of Glentress. It drew more riders than any other trail centre in Wales, despite fierce competition from the likes of Cwmcarn and Coed-y-Brenin, with thousands showing up to traverse White’s Level, Y Wal (The Wall) and Skyline every weekend.
