Comrie Croft Mountain Bike Trails

Comrie Croft mountain bike trails are set on a 231-acre farmstead in the Strathearn Valley in Perthshire, Scotland. There are 21km of purpose-built trails including blue, red and black routes, a refreshed skills park and an all-abilities trail, with natural riding extending throughout the valley. The trails are open all year round and free to ride, and the wider Croft offers accommodation, camping, a market garden, farm shop and cafe. Comrie Croft was crowned iBikeRide Trail of the Year in 2016.

Comrie Croft

Comrie Croft is a working farmstead run as a family of nature-based enterprises, and mountain biking sits at the heart of it. Comrie Croft Bikes runs the on-site shop with hire and repairs, plus coaching through Flow School and guided riding, and the trail network continues to develop. Around the trails you will find the Eco-Lodge, Nordic katas, eco-camping, a market garden, a farm shop and the Gorse Cafe, which makes the Croft as good a base for a family weekend as it is for a day of riding.

The Trails

Blue Trail (4km)

• A blue graded trail for all abilities including adaptive MTB, split into three segments: Dual of the Earn, Cookie Monster and Dark Side of the Blue.

Red Trails (6km)

• A network of red graded trails with both hand-built and machine-built sections. Technical in places, with features including a bedrock slab, off-camber descents, a rock garden, water splashes and fun descents. Five sections: Rock Lobster, Stan Salvador, Forest Stump, The Muddy Rut and Phil Mabracker.

Black Trail

• Steep descents, rocky terrain and tight turns across three sections: Natural Gold, Hairy Coo Black and Sloppy Joes.

Skills Park and Pump Track

• The refreshed and rebuilt bike skills area (2025) features a smooth pump track designed to be accessible for mountain bikes, skateboards and BMX.
• The dual track is great for racing your mates or dialling skills. It rests during winter months; push up alongside for easy sessioning.

All Abilities Trail

• The Slow Worm (opened 2025) is an all-abilities, multi-use trail in the front field, designed to be accessible for a wide range of users including adaptive MTB bikes.

Natural Trails

• The surrounding Strathearn Valley has extensive natural riding. The shop can sort you with routes graded easy, medium, difficult or expert. Starting from the Comrie Croft centre: Comrie village (easy, 4 miles), Breafordie circular (medium, 6 miles), Loch Turret circular (difficult, 10 miles), Loch Tay expedition (expert, 20-30 miles).
• The Tayside Trail Association covers the wider Perthshire area and is worth checking for additional routes.

Beyond the Trails

• The Eco-Lodge is a smart hostel set in the traditional farmhouse and steading, with ensuite rooms sleeping up to 48 in the Steading plus further rooms in the Farmhouse, bookable by the room or as exclusive hire for groups.
• Nordic katas, timber and canvas glamping tents, sit up in the birch woods, and eco-camping spreads across the meadows below.
• Tomnah'a Market Garden grows fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers on a five-acre site at the Croft, with a veg share scheme, seasonal pick-your-own and on-site floristry.
• The Gorse Cafe, opened in 2025 in the former Tea Garden spot, serves homemade lunches, cakes and bakes with a garden-to-plate ethos built around Tomnah'a produce. It opens seasonally, roughly April to October.
• A farm shop, the Nowhere Sauna and a wedding barn round out the site. Full details at comriecroft.com.
