Spicy loop, good skills & a proper mountain bike required if you want to see the spectacular bridge at the bottom by bike

Andrew Ross

Lovely loop down to Three Shires bridge. Whichever way you do it you have a rocky downhill followed by the uphill. A great spot to have lunch, admire the views and listen to nature.
