Garwnant Visitor Centre

Our bike park has a series of child-friendly obstacles designed especially to improve skills and build confidence.

Users only need to be able to pedal uphill and to negotiate simple turns and the idea is to push your bike up the ramp and ride around each of the features in turn. All features can be ridden slowly or avoided completely.

The skills park is aimed at young children, and adult supervision is highly recommended.
