Trail Information
The Lower Green Route
Green: Easy - 2.2 miles / 3.5 km
30% singletrack. Allow 1/2 - 1 hours
An excellent beginner route through Glentress's oldest, tallest
and most magnificant trees.
This trail starts and finishes at the Glentress Peel Visitor Centre.
The route has gentle gradients and mellow bends that are a
perfect introduction to mountain biking.
The Upper Green Route
Green: Easy - 2.8 miles / 4.5 km
60% singletrack. Allow 1/2 - 1 hours
A fabulous trail that provides stunning views of Peebles, the
Tweed Valley and the surrounding hills.
This purpose-built singletrack route starts from the Buzzards Nest
Car Park, which is sign-posted from the forest entrance. It’s a fair
old pedal up to the car park from the bottom of the forest (only
2km, but lots of climbing) so driving up is advised unless you’re
feeling really fit!

Orange: Extreme - 0.9 miles / 1.4 km
Packed full of advanced level features, the Freeride Park is an
ideal spot for riders looking to push their skill levels, style it up,
learn new tricks or just hang out and ride with friends. It's
located right next to the Buzzards Nest Car Park.
Check out the range of features big and small, which are perfect
for practising your bike skills on. Whether you’re a novice freerider
or a seasoned pro, there are areas built to suit all levels of
experience. Read the onsite info panels before you jump
on your bike.
Check out these tables to find the right trail grade to suit your abilities.
