Directions

From juction 28 of the M4, just follow the A467 heading north. You should see a sign for Cwmcarn Forest Drive at one of the roundabouts, turn right here, then after 150 yards or so, you'll see another sign to turn left. Go up the lane over all the speed bumps, you can either pull into the main carpark on the right, or go another 100 yards and park outside the center if there is space.
By Train You can catch a train from Cardiff platform zero to Crosskeys, this is just around the corner from Cwmcarn, about 7-8 minutes on your bike.

Cwm Carn is just a short hop along the M4 into Wales for London bikers. It has one of the most technical and beautiful climbs that is aptly rewarded with the most flowing, smooth single track down you can get in the whole British Isles.

This video features the last down on the cross country course at Cwm Carn Wales and proves a tad painful for rider Pete Lightfoot. Watch though how smoothly he gets back on to complete this course
