Kirkhill Loop Forest Trail
This waymarked red route encircles the heart of Kirkhill forest. It is on forest road for most of the way and gives terrific views over Bennachie and to the north. There are only a few steep gradients, making this an ideal family cycle. The loop is waymarked (also red) from the southern car park.
Loop to and from East Woodlands Car Park
A 1 mile off-road white waymarked spur leads off the main red waymarked Kirkhill Loop and goes to East Woodlands Car Park. This part of the trail has some steeper sections.
Cyclists should stay aware that they share many of the routes with horse riders and walkers.
