Sirhowy Valley Country Park Rocky Climb

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Great tester of a climb on a mountain bike (or even gravel bike if you're brave)! You'll find large, angular and chunky rocks on the trail, with a highline ridge to the right featuring more roots.

Footpath from The Bryn to Wylie

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This little footpath is a seldom used, more picturesque way to walk over to Wylie from the Bryn. It can get a little boggy when wet, however, which can make the ground slippery underfoot.
