Mountain Biking

Mountain bike fans are discovering that in Wales Mountain Biking doesn't get better than the Brecon Beacons. The Beacons give mountain bikers a natural trail experience, exhilarating and satisfying.

There are 14 single track mountain bike routes through forests, over Welsh Mountains, through streams and open commons.

The graded mountain bike routes are colour coded into

  • Yellow routes

  • Green routes

  • Blue routes

  • Red routes

  • Killer Black route

The routes start from one of 5 major Mountain Bike Centres in Brecon Beacons National Park.

You can now buy a pack with all fourteen individual, waterproof route maps and route descriptions together with a useful information booklet. You can get them from our online shop Or you can buy them in person at the Visitor Centre, Libanus, Brecon LD3 8ER, tel:01874 623366

Proceeds from the route pack go back into route maintenance.

Make a weekend of mountain biking and stay somewhere green in eco-friendly accommodation in one of the Mountain bike centres.

There is transport for bikes on the Beacons Bike Bus on Sundays and bank holidays Mondays.

Several businesses offer mountain bike hire and mountain bike repairs in the Beacons.
