Dirt Farm

Dirt Farm is a downhill and gravity mountain-bike park at Great Llwygy Farm near Pandy, about five miles north of Abergavenny in the Black Mountains. Formerly the Black Mountains Cycle Centre, its trails were cut and shaped by riders Shaun Bevan and Gary Broad, and range from intermediate flow lines to steep professional-grade descents. The main draw is the uplift service, which runs a vehicle to the top so riders can pack in repeated runs without the climb; a push-up and ride option is also available. Uplifts operate Wednesday to Sunday plus bank holiday Mondays, with the first at 10am and the last at 4pm, and the tracks stay open until 6pm. There is free parking on site and the setting looks out across the hills of the eastern Bannau Brycheiniog. It is an independent, single-site operation aimed at confident off-road riders.
