We will start from the canal entrance on Ruskin Avenue. We will follow the canal up to Cwmcarn forest drive, then up to the top!
This is a beautiful if challenging, hilly route but the views are worth it!
Please arrive at 6.15 to start riding at 6.30.



Join us for a summer evening ride to Cwmcarn and up around the forest drive.

The route is on the canal path and on closed roads on the forest drive itself. There is a short on road section open to card as we ride up to the visitor centre from the entrance. E-bikes welcome

We will stop briefly at the top for photos and a quick snack.

Please wear a helmet, water and a snack as there is no official stop on this route. Bring a spare inner tube for your bike and the means to change it in case of a puncture. Please also bring lights, we should be back before it gets dark but just in case of delays.
