"The project is to extend the MinorTaur trail at Coed y Brenin Forest Park. The MinorTaur is a 9km long blue grade mountain biking trail with 3 loops. The project will add a fourth loop to the trail with a further 2 km of single track. The blue grade trail is designed for beginners and intermediates, families, and young children, and some riders with disabilities.
Coed y Brenin Forest Park (CYB) is one of the top mountain bike trail centres in the UK and the aim of the project is to grow both the existing market and new markets such as young mums, prosperous professionals, educated urbanites, inner city communities, minority groups, youth groups and young adults with learning difficulties and physical disabilities.
The 2 km extension is anticipated to increase visitor numbers by another 5k a year. The project is also expected to create a full time catering assistant role at £18k a year and a part time Business Support Officer."
