The valley
Afan.
Our home trails.
Forest, ridge lines, old mining country and some of the most famous mountain bike riding in Wales. All of it starts just up the road from the brewery.
The place
Where the valley meets the forest
Cwmafan sits at the mouth of the Afan Valley, just inland from Port Talbot. Follow the river up and the hillsides close in, the conifers take over and you reach Afan Forest Park.
The forest is home to the Glyncorrwg trail centre and a network of red graded singletrack that riders travel across the country for. Walking trails, forest roads and bridleways run through the same woods, and the views are free either way.

On every can
The view from the top
Every label shares one painting: a rider stopped on a rocky ridge, the valley opening out below. Only the name changes.
