The Afan Forest Dirt Park directions

Once you rejoin the A4107 turn left, after about 1.5 miles take the first left towards Neath through the village of Pontredyfen.
Please drive carefully through the village. You will see a pub on the left almost as you leave the village called the Colliers (good beer & food)
Just past the Colliers turn right for Tonmawr and Bryn Bettws Lodge. After half a mile turn right right that will take you along an unsurfaced Forestry Commission road for about a mile to Bryn Bettws Lodge.

Congratulations you have found the Afan Dirt Park,

See you there!
