Named after the river Gorlech, what this trail delivers in views and scenery it certainly backs up with terrain and excitement. The trail is a hard, fast, all weather surface which becomes more and more exciting as your skill level and speed progresses. Soon you'll be railing the perfectly sculpted berms and huge switchbacks, jumping the step up jumps and tabletops and grinning all the way to the bottom of the exhilirating final descent. The Gorlech red route firmly puts Brechfa on the Mountain Biking Wales map as another top destination.
There are also waymarked walks at Abergorlech and Byrgwm.
