Cycling and Mountain Biking

The Aberdeenshire countryside around Glen Tanar is ideal terrain for cyclists and mountain bikers. Whether you're looking for gentle family bike rides on failry flat routes or challenging mountain rides to over 300 feet there is something for you here.

The old Deeside Railway has been converted into a cycle track for part of its length or you can ride along quiet old traditional tracks through ancient Caledonian Pine forest.

There's a circular route taking in the Black Moss and the Water of Tanar, there are routes over the hills which were once used for driving cattle to the markets of the south, or there's the strenuous route to the top of Mount Keen - reckoned to be the highest bike ride in Britain and a serious test of stamina.

The Glen Tanar Visitor Centre offers guide leaflets and advice on all cycle routes in "The Glen". Come and stay with us and cycle to your hearts content amidst glorious scenery.
