Mountain bikers call to save NRW visitor centres

Ynyslas’ centre has an exhibition on the Dyfi Nature Reserve, a shop selling snacks and drinks, and toilets.

In a letter to Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs Huw Irranca-Davies, members of the Welsh mountain bike sector say the sport is “a cornerstone of outdoor recreation in Wales, attracting thousands of visitors annually and generating significant economic benefits”.

One of the signatories is Robin Grant, chairman of the UK MTB trail alliance, who said: “There’s an ecosystem of businesses that have grown to support the different activities at the centres – accommodation providers, restaurants, mountain bike guiding businesses, bike shops.

“If visitor numbers are impacted greatly, those business may not survive long enough to see those centres open again.”

The Welsh government did not comment on the letter.
