Pitfichie
 

This is a varied forest with cycling routes through a mixture of woodland and open hill.

There are two main mountain bike trails - the blue-graded white route and the red-graded red route - and two Downhill Mountain Bike trails (the orange route) for expert Downhill bikers.

The trails have excellent views of the Vale of Alford, Bennachie, Millstone Hill and towards Aberdeen.

We hope to improve the trails over the next few years. If you have any comments, please email us!
