Carbisdale Mountain Bike Trails
 

With excellent views over the inner Dornoch Firth and Bonar Bridge, a beautiful lochside picnic bench and secluded woodland scenery, the Carbisdale trails offer challenging cycling for competent mountain bike riders.

The blue grade route is a great introduction to the trails, with optional rock features, wonderful views and technical descents such as ‘Goldie Rocks’ and ‘Hissing Sid’.

The red route has some technical features, such as ‘Little Red Riding Wood’ and ‘What Big Teeth’ along with forest road sections. The viewpoint overlooking the lochan is a perfect place to regain your energy for the descent ahead.
