Carron Valley Red Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

A very short (only 8km) red (but really it should be blue) trail through the woods at Carron Valley. The trail has an excellent all weather surface so holds together well in the wet, although drainage can be an issue so expect big puddles. A little short and a bit tame, but cracking for a few laps, especially at night in winter. Lots of gravel tracks through the forest too that are worth exploring.

Worth checking Forestry and Land Scotland's website before heading off as they quite often close the trail for forestry work.
