A beautiful round trail

This is a really nice blue and green trail with a mix of fire road and singletrack. Nothing technical and really suitable for a family ride

Please consult the large notice board at the trailhead. This is a commercial forest and currently, timber harvesting is taking place along the southern flank of the Loch (hence tha barriers encountered by abp1). There are diversions in place to avoid the southern flank, rerouting via the north shore. This is detailed on the notice board. Also, please be aware that this is not an official MTB route, and taking a bike along it is not a good idea since the trail will have walkers of all abilities along its length, most of whom will not be expecting MTBs at all.

We tried to do this tour on June 21, 2023, but had to cancel. After approx. 13 km you come out of the forest into a wide valley. The landscape is very beautiful, but the path is destroyed by a large number of watercourses and you have to dismount every few meters. After that, the path is obstructed by massive willow barriers with barbed wire. The route would have to be laid out differently, otherwise this tour is not recommended.

Beautiful gently-flowing waterfalls as you cross the northern section of Loch Trool.

Fantastic place to start/end a ride. Loads of trails in the vicinity and a good coffee shop at the centre. Everything you need for a good day out.

A great spot to start/end a ride. There's a car park, cafe and loads of local route information from MTB loops to road rides.

You may need to bring your own history book to understand the role King Bruce played and why the battle is important as you don't get much more than just the rock with an inscription

Perfect gravel road suitable for almost any bike.
