    SPOTLIGHT ON...

    COED Y BRENIN

    The UK’s original trail centre, which opened its first waymarked MTB route back in 1996, Coed y Brenin is still one of the best. With Eryri as a backdrop, it has a great selection of all-weather singletrack, with some infamous features to test your skills. Six of the eight trails are graded red or black, so there’s plenty of tech for experienced riders to enjoy along with the superb scenery.
