Dragon Run, Cafall Trail
Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park
You have to work a bit to keep it flowing through the plantation, as it's relatively flat and there are some tight turns between the rows of trees.
Keep your eyes peeled for the old, gnarled and twisted trees here that are a stark contrast to the straight lines of the pines.

Cwmcarn — Twrch Mountain Bike Trail
Highlight • Parking
Both the singletrack trails contain lots of long technical climbs as well as some long flowy descents. Rocky in places and some incredible views from the top. Both trails are clearly signposted and easy to follow although do check they aren't closed for forestry works before going.
There is also loads of fire roads running throughout the woods which could be incorporated into a ride if the singletracks become too technical.
There is a bike shop, cafe and bike wash, plus pay and display car parking facilities at the bottom where all the trails join up.

Quadzilla Switchbacks, Cafall Trail
Highlight • Climb
These hairpin bends can be pretty tricky, not to mention the rocky and rooty features in between, so it's a great section to help you brush up on your skills.
