Dreghorn Drop Gravel Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

One of the steepest and hardest climbs in the entire Pentland hills, this is a gravel access road that cuts straight up with almost no rest points.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice and steep, straight up the hill.

View of the Pentland Hills Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite a technical path that is appropriate slow gravel ride or mountain biking. But what a view!

Maidens Cleugh Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Nice sustained rocky climb which can get muddy in winter

Tip by

Glencorse Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the west end of the valley watch out of fording the streams as some have deep central channels

Tip by

16.9 km

It can get quite technical in certain parts of the trail and perhaps more suitable for mountain bikers in certain segments. But if you are going slow on gravel bike, you should be fine (that's what I did).
