Its official, this has to be my favorite trail centre in Wales. With some amazing riding and some of the most epic descents, what’s not to like about Penmachno.

This place looks amazing. I bet its much harder in real life than it looks on camera😃
Great place only been there four times and well worth doing the 2nd loop. 👍
Stayed in Penmachno for a week a few years ago, beautiful spot. Didn’t do any biking, plenty of hiking though. Need to get a north wales MTB trip organised!
Went to penmachno this summer. Great trail
I remember it being pretty awesome (but remote) many years ago
Very under the radar place, never heard of it, looks great.
We rode it after torrential rain……. I only crashed once 😂 we just assumed that the trail was so narrow, that the line would have to be ok…… Scary, but fun
Umm my dad crashed int that trail and cut/slit his hand open and broke his hand but hes ok but it is a really amazing trail abousltle love it😂😂.
Try it in winter , it’s a beautiful river
thats my vivaro in background ! had an absolute blast around there
Great vids and trails in Wales, keep on riding and shooting vids. I hope riding one day in the best trails of Wales. Best regards
This looks soooo good!
Whereabouts is this place?
Great review and one which I totally agree with. I've ridden trail centres all over the country but this place is easily the best imo. There's a section towards the end called Benddigedig which is comparable to some of the off piste stuff in Dyfi- really fast, technical, loads of different lines, mega fun. I did the much hyped Glentress red a few weeks ago, not even remotely as good as Penmachno. If you're in the area I recommend also doing Dragon's back at Coed Y Brenin, there's some sections of singletrack towards the back end of the forest that are sublime.
for ever thing you said is why i love this place the most
Nice video. Thanks for showing news places to ride !! Can't wait to visit there 🤘
Me and a friend did the full 2 loops combined in sep '22 and part of the board walk on the upper loop literally collapsed from under us hahaha, was only a short drop but bloody hell woke us up half way through a hefty ride, love this place absolute gem, don't forget to donate to the cause at the parking spot 👍
That's definitely added to my bucket list
That first climb from the car park is a drag, worth taking your time over it so you’re not blown-up early on. The rest is a scream, it’s my local but happy to share😎🏴
Great video! There are some great Airbnbs just a few miles down the road in Cwm Penmachno. There’s also a giant old quarry down there that’s worth exploring.
Came off big style in that last section the only time I did this trail. Scary stuff. Amazing place,very isolated,no signal. Go with friends I would suggest.
Looks absolutely bangin… I’ll visit for sure. Great review man. 🤙🤙🤙
Needed my arm bands when I went there😮
Love Penmachno. Wettest trail on the planet!
Was a regular trial I'd take time out to ride a few times a year…never gets boring…always be prepared for bad weather on Machno as is could be sunny in other valley's yet raining there.. also very sketchy mobile signal if riding solo and even in the middle of an extended drought part's of the trail are always wet😂
