Trail rides Cardiff / Newport

spdpug98

Due to changes in my job I am now spending 1 or 2 nights every other week in South Wales, I usually stay in hotels around Cradiff / Newport. But I have been thinking there must be some hotels around some decent off road / trails/ etc in and around that area.

Can anyone recommend some decent off road riding that have decent hotels close by, the plan would be to spend the day at meetings then do a bit of riding late afternoon then hit the bar for a few beers and some dinner - then back to meetings the next day!

Cwmcarn mtb trails is very close to Newport, it's off J27 of M4 motorway, go pass Risca town and it's about 1 mile on, excellent trail centre, I have attached a link for you to see as listed below:-

Thanks, looks like just the thing. I'll do some googling and try and find some suitable hotels

Are there any other similar rides without so much climbing!!
