Taff Valley Quad Bike and Activity Centre

For Cardiff residents, this outdoor activity centre is practically on the city’s doorstep, and while the scenery isn’t quite as striking as that of the nearby Brecon Beacons (where many Cardiffians travel to for outdoor pursuits) it’s still quite an attractive area, and it’s far more convenient.
The centre has good quad biking facilities but lots of groups go there to do other outdoor activities such as archery, clay pigeon shooting, and cross country nature trails. They also arrange activities in other locations (including the Brecon Beacons!) such as gorge walking and even chocolate making — popular for hen parties.
My friend went here to do archery, starting off with a training round on easy ‘training bows’, then moving on to a second scoring round with proper field target bows. It was raining, but they have an indoor barn set up to use, so it’s a pretty good all-​weather activity. She really enjoyed it, and it only cost about £12 per person (she was in a group of about 6). Her office is now planning a clay pigeon shooting jaunt there!

I’ve been Quad biking in a few different places now and while some offer little more than a field, this one really has a bit more variety and interest and being in Wales we usually have lots of mud which is essential for Quad biking!
Firstly you have to do a bit of safety briefing an get used to the bikes ect, but then you get to follow the instructors out around the farm over different terrains, through the wood and such. They tailor the tour to suit the ability of the riders so don’t worry if you’ve never been before. Trips last an hour or an hour and half, may not sound a lot but you’d be surprised by the aching the next day!
They provide all the gear to keep you dry and safe. They also do other activities too such as clay shooting and gorge walking and can tailor make your Hen/​Stag weekend events.
