Rugged riding in the Welsh Valleys, with big climbs rewarded by big descents
Taking its name from the valley's industrial heritage, the Blue Scar trail offers up plenty of flowing singletrack and a few technical features, making it ideal for anyone that's happy on the green trails but wants to sample something a little harder.
It's a good way to progress to the harder trails at Afan, but also good fun in its own right - it's also a good choice for those with children who are a bit more confident.
It starts from the Afan Forest Visitor Centre and you also have the option of extending onto the red-graded Penhydd trail.
