For Trail MTB explorers on an adventure.
Craigowl Hill, towering at 455m just north of Dundee, offers breathtaking 360-degree views, making it a prime spot for mountain biking enthusiasts. The climb to the summit is on a steep, well-paved road, challenging but entirely manageable on a powerful electric mountain bike, thanks to the added boost. With both a lower vehicle gate featuring a pedestrian wicket for easy access and an upper gate with a cattle grid, the ascent is straightforward. Starting from the large, free community car park in Balkello Woods, riders can choose between the exhilarating return down the same road or venturing off-road on several dirt single-track paths through the enchanting Balkello Woods. This route promises an unforgettable adventure with both the thrill of the climb and the beauty of the Scottish landscape.
