SPOTLIGHT ON...
BIKEPARK WALES
The UK’s first large-scale bike park, BPW is a massive success thanks to its fantastic range of constantly-maintained descents. It has an ever-growing network of 46+ downhill runs that you don’t need a DH bike to enjoy, graded from green to purple (pro). Classified as Flow, Tech or Blend, you can link them up in various combos. Buy an uplift pass to get in maximum runs, or pedal up the singletrack climb if you have the legs. The latest run, currently being built, is Boomslang, a black trail with some epic berms. BPW has a great cafe/bar, as well.
