As a group of passionate mountain bikers, South Wales Trails Association exists to secure, preserve, and formalise mountain biking trails that are currently publicly accessible but unsanctioned across South Wales, beginning in the Caerphilly area. Our long-term aim is to create a sustainable trail network, formally recognised and responsibly managed, ensuring these trails remain available for current and future generations of riders.

Importantly, we aim to work in conjunction with other countryside user groups, ensuring that trails are designed and managed so that everyone—walkers, runners, and riders—can enjoy the outdoors safely and sustainably.

By combining sustainable trail development with structured management, we aim to enhance mountain biking in Wales, attract responsible bike tourism, and support the physical and mental wellbeing of the local community. Our vision is a trail network that balances recreation, health, conservation, and shared enjoyment of the countryside for all users.
