グレントレスフォレストのおすすめライド

The Devil’s Beef Tub climb from Moffat is a long, scenic ascent into the Southern Uplands, averaging 5% over 7 km with sections reaching 10%. The wide, smooth road rises steadily through a dramatic natural amphitheatre of hills, offering expansive views and a consistent gradient ideal for pacing. With little shelter, wind can be a major factor—especially near the top. The climb never gets too steep, but it’s relentless, so settle into a rhythm early. Reaching the summit delivers a peaceful, windswept high point in the heart of the Borders.

The A708 follows the northern shore of St Mary's Loch, the largest natural body of water in the Scottish Boarders. It's an A road and people do drive fast, but it's never that busy, so It's a fun ride with great views. The loch takes its name from the chapel that once stood on the northern shore. The chapel has gone, but the graveyard remains.

Lovely town in the Scottish Borders with the best pies from Forsyths

Beautiful loch and there's a cafe nearby.

Nowhere near as gruelling as the name would suggest

Nice cafe over looking St Mary's Loch

In the centre of Peebles High Street this building dated 1808 can be seen. It is nice to look at.

You have to dismount from the bike to cross this footbridge
