The new purpose-built track is a chance for people to play, practice their technique or just warm up before hitting the longer trails which start from the same spot near the visitor centre.

Julian Barnes, Natural Resources Wales said: “We’re proud to look after such a special site where people can get active, get healthy and enjoy everything that nature has to offer.

“This new track has a number of loops with things like rollers and table tops, so all riders can have fun and practice their skills.”

“Bwlch Nant yr Arian is great for mountain biking, but it is also a fantastic place for people to go walking, running and horse riding.”
