The park has a great range of features, small and large. Check out the information panels on site before riding. In addition to helmet and gloves, body armour is strongly recommended!

How to get there:
Glentress Freeride Park can be started from Buzzards Nest Car Park in Glentress Forest which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Peebles is the nearest town or village.
The car park is one and a half miles east of Peebles on the A72.
Once on forest road go past the Peel car parks and follow road uphill beyond Falla Brae car park. After about one mile, the road splits to the left uphill from the forest drive. The car park is well signposted.
Please keep to the 15mph speed limit.
