Whitelee Wind Farm Gravel Track Network

Highlight • Trail

Whitlee Wind Farm is on the Eaglesham Moor in Scotland. It is the largest on-shore wind farm in the UK and the second largest in Europe with 215 Siemens and Alstom turbines that have a total capacity of 539 megawatts. Due to its close proximity to Glasgow it is one of the first examples of a large scale wind farm in close proximity to a large population. The wind farm is an impressive site and epic to cycle through. The Isle of Arran can be seen in the background on a clear day. Beneath the wind farm sits an extensive network of great quality gravel tracks to work your way through.
