I don't believe so, the Afan center is run by the council & Glyncorrwg by the forestry commission IIRC. If your only going to ride the Wall @ Afan I park by the iron footbridge bridge in a free car park off the Neath rd

Glyncorrwg is not run by the FC. They have no input to or control over that site.

Afan is a FC site.

I doubt the tickets are transferrable.

Pay for parking. It helps improve the economy of a struggling location.

Stump up, go on!

Is it £6 now? That's gone up a bit... Still, as Flashie says, pay your cash to keep the development going.

if you go to and do whites first and then go down and park at afan about 3 o clock you should get away with paying for a half day ticket (£1.50)

Any ideas why it's struggling Flash ?

Why not do the W2 trail, where you ride Whites and the Wall - linking across at the top?

You can start at either centre, do the climb on one trail, the descent on the other and then the other climb and descent.

The Afan Visitor Centre is run by the local authority and Glyncorrwg is run by a local communtiy group,all money goes back into site development and if you think about it, £6 is a bargain for a day out?

Don't need to go anywhere near afan forest car park to do the wall because its closer to Glyncorrwg (unless you want to get your feet wet)

Season tickets are transferable between the two, but i don't think day tickets are.... However the guys who look after the Afan carpark are pretty reasonable, so if you show the ticket from Glyncorrwg, you may get away with not having to pay again......
