About Derwen Green
Typically, green trails are all on forest roads or canal towpaths – but not in Brechfa Forest! We aimed to create a trail that engages the rider and heightens your senses giving a true taste of off-road riding.
Named after the oak woodland it effortlessly flows through, the Derwen trail gives the inexperienced off-road rider a unique introduction to the world of mountain biking. Clinging low to the valley sides, the trail eases you in with steady climbs and fun descents. Weaving through the forest you will encounter some lovely scenery and flowing terrain in what has until now been one of Wales’s best kept secrets.
How to get there: Byrgwm is located on the B4310, two miles north-east of Brechfa village. Follow the A40 between Llandeilo and Carmarthen and take the B4310 towards Brechfa village.
