A big purpose-built mountain-bike park spreads across Gethin Woods south of Merthyr Tydfil, with runs graded from gentle blue flow trails up to black and pro-line descents. A shuttle-bus uplift saves the climb, so riders can lap the mountain all day. Bikes and full kit can be hired on site. It’s ticketed, with sessions booked ahead.
