The Afan Forest Park and surrounding area is renowned for its stunning scenery and natural beauty.  Often referred to as "Little Switzerland", the park has become one of the best mountain biking and walking areas in the UK. 

It has much to offer in terms of mountain biking, from family routes, to the more challenging ones for expert mountain bikers.  The mountain bike routes are graded into three categories, easy, medium and difficult, therefore offering something for everyone.  The four main routes comprise of The Penhydd Trail, The Wall, Whites Level, and Skyline.   








 

Ivy House is situated between Skyline, one of the most difficult routes which begins at the Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre and Whites level.  The Wall was recommended in ‘ What Mountain Bike Magazine’ (Dec 2004) as "one of the ten places to ride before you die!"







 



There is also the Celtic High Level scenic trail.   An enjoyable route for the recreational biker which starts at the Afan Forest Park Centre.   There are many routes planned for the area and we look forward to telling you about these soon. Ivy House's location is ideal for walkers and cyclists, and provides a secure lock up and a hose to clean down bikes.
