(MTB) World Class Trails
Forested Hills and Valleys
Cycling is a great way to get outdoors, get exercising and check out parts of Neath Port Talbot. We have a range of safe cycle routes that are ideal for families, from disused railways lines to peaceful canal towpaths.
Start - Forest Road
This gently sloping trail follows the wide flat route of the old railway lines that once carried passengers and coal the length of the valley. 14 miles of disused railway and forestroad link the communities of Pontrhyfyen with Blaengwynfi and Glyncorrwg and wind through forest and open areas that were once railway sidings.
The old Cynonville station has been converted to a shelter and barbeque, and many other benches and picnic tables along the route offer opportunities to stop and enjoy the view.
