National Park Cycling ............ List of Example Cycle Routes

Wherever you go in Scotland , mountain biking and cycling on forest trails or cycle routes is a great way of seeing the best of the scenery. In The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park you can find excellent routes all over the park on purpose built cycleways and forest trails. If you're fit enough you can even bike to the top of some serious mountains. Cycling from Callander in the Trossachs will suit all tastes and all levels of fitness.

Bikes can be hired on an hourly or daily basis from several cycling centres, two of which are in Callander, and one at Loch Katrine in the heart of the Trossachs.

Although the bike hire centres / shops will be able to help out if you have 'broken' your bike it's worth remembering that many of the cycle routes reach places which are fairly inaccessible by car and often miles from the nearest road.
For this reason you should make sure you have at least a basic repair kit with you in order to avoid a long walk to the nearest road for help.


Kit to consider - perhaps not essential, but nice to have:

  • Spare inner tube - and maybe a cover patch!
  • Puncture repair kit with patches & glue (has it solidified?)
  • Multi toolkit
  • High pressure pump.
  • Small plastic bottle of general lube.
  • Selection of cable ties - useful for repairs.
  • Your bicycle flask.
  • One or two snacks.
  • A windbreaker and a warm jacket
  • A mobile phone.
