Penmachno

Does anyone know if Penmachno is well signposted and easy to follow?? I can't seem to find a detailed map anywhere.

The hard part is finding the car park.....

It's pretty well signposted between the obvious sections of single track.... it's also very worth while going. I think it's the favourite man made trail I've ridden. I think it's because it feels much less man made that a lot of others. You get the feeling when riding it that it's just been a trail ridden by locals that has just been hardened a bit in order to make it ridable most of the year round.

Once you've found the car park the route is well signed...much like all the other Trail Centres

Thanks for the info. I've seen a post code somewhere on the net for the car park, I'll give it a go in the next few weeks.

Just drive through the village and after passing the last house look for a firetrack on your right after a couple of hundred yards,go up that and the parking Layby is on your left.

Track up to car park isn't hard to find - just keep going out of village and it's on the right. Like Fred, I think it's the brilliant. The top, open section is one of the best bits of single track I've ridden, and the last half mile is a real sting in the tail! Superb.

I'd back all that was said above, Penmachno is my favourite 'manmade trail'. It has a raw feel that many other purpose built tracks lack.

The views from the top open section are amazing (if you get a clear day of course).

As mentioned above, as you leave the village of Penmachno, there is a layby on your left. Here's a map to show you where:-

Enjoy!
