A very attractive route for fit and experienced mountain bikers with demanding climbs, great views and stonking downhills.
Older, confident children and adult beginners will find it fun and gently challenging on hybrids or mountain bikes.
Cycle out from Pitlochry or Faskally Caravan Park, it's ten minutes in either direction to the Forestry Commission Faskally Woods car park and toilets.
The route is a circuit around Loch Dunmore through Faskally Woods, starting at the carpark and toilets. The woods are the location for the Enchanted Forest spectacle in autumn
Tips:
The network of informal trails associated with this route offers huge potential to entertain the non-conformist, rebellious yoofs who really don't want to be on holiday with you anyway!
Sensible newcomers will stick to this route until they feel more confident! Over ambitious riders (usually Dads), who haven't been on a bike much recently, will at least find privacy when resting foreheads on handlebars prior to continuing on their chosen alternative trail!
