Trail Centre Details

Llandegla Forest is a MTB centre in the county of Denbighshire that’s privately run by One Planet Adventure. It has rides for all abilities, including a skills area near the start of the trails, a freeride area and the Pump Track to help build technical skills. There are also a number of walking trails, and Offa’s Dyke National Trail even passes through the forest – so be careful not to run over any backpackers. If that’s not enough, then two waymarked 10km trail runs are perfect if you’re looking for a brick session.

The four main mountain biking routes at Llandegla Forest are the imagantively named:

However, it’s not simply these 4 routes. There are also some more extreme graded sections that can be tacked onto the Red and Black routes to challenge more experienced riders.
