White's Level

About White's Level

Very technical progressive riding trail sponsored by npower. It has drops, step downs and long singletrack climbs. The much awaited “Energy” section on White’s Level Mtn Bike Trail opens to the public on Friday afternoon (12th October 2007). “Energy” is the most recent addition to the world-renowned Afan 110k Mtn BikeTrails within Afan Forest Park. While the new section takes the name Energy from its proximity to npower renewables’ Ffynnon Oer wind farm, it demands energy, technical skill and daring from bike riders, making it a most exciting addition to the trails. A big thank you to all who have worked hard on Energy during difficult conditions, especially Rowan Sorrell, Rob Breakwell, Dean Gillett, Rob Howells, Richard Taylor, Andy Stevens, Andrew Walker, Julian Poffley, Ian Luff & Jason Tompkins.

How to get there:

White's Level can be started from Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike Centre in Afan Forest Park which is part of Afan Forest Park. Glyncorrwg, Port Talbot, Neath, and Swansea are the nearest towns or villages.
