Bryn Bettws Lodge in the News

Thanks for a great blog from Tredz

Date: 01/02/11

“Bryn Bettws Lodge in the Afan Valley is rapidly becoming a must-vist spot for mountain bikers. The jewel of the Bryn Bettws crown is the Bike Park which features dirt jumps and one of the best 4X tracks in the UK. The site features free parking  (unlike Afan Forest and Glyncorrwg), there is a bunk house that sleeps 38 people and four Swiss-style log cabins that sleep up to five people each. It is well thought out with a secure lock-up, bike wash, a licensed bar, cafe and a BBQ area so you can arrange your own post-ride burger fest. If you haven’t been, go and check it out.”

“…….but even better news for Bryn Bettws is that it’s going to hold Round 3 of the British 4X National Points Series on May 28th, with the following day seeing Round 3 of the European series.”

“It’s great to see some European level racing so close to home.”
