A short distance from the cottage is the Black Raven Trail, designed by Rowan Sorrell and Brian Ramble, raises Brechfa’s take on mountain biking to the next level.

Suitable only for proficent bikers, the trail effortlessly mixes up the more traditional narrow woodland singletracks with Brechfa signature brash descents: fast undulating trail that sweeps between trees and flows sinuously into berms and over jumps.

This trail takes you into the more interesting corners of the forest and creates a ride that involes the forests unique environment, from spooky mossy overhangs to the magnificent Douglas fir Northshore Bridge. Or if you need something a little easier there are 4 other trails for different abilitys. Or you can find your own trails straight form the cottage.
