Comrie Croft Mountain Bike Trails

Description

Comrie Croft mountain bike trails are set in a private estate in the Strathearn Valley in Perthshire, Scotland. There are 21km of trails in total plus a lot of natural trails in the Strathearn Valley. At the centre are black, red and blue trails and a skills park. The facilities include cafe, bike shop, hire, toilets and car park. 

There is a Blue trail, around 4kms, a Network of Red Trails (a mix of handbuilt and machine-built trails), and a Black Trail. There is also a Bike Skills area with jumps & drops and a pump track

The MTB network is always developing and there is also bike shop, hire, repairs, coaching, guiding, bunkhouse, eco-camping & The Tea Garden cafe on site. 

Red

• The red trail is around 6kms long, all red graded but has sections that are technical and possibly a bit harder than other reds in Scotland. It is a good mix of being very natural, and feature-packed with features such as the bedrock slab, off-camber descents, rock garden, the water splash, and fun descents. There is a downhill black XC section from the top of the red which is technical. In total there are five red sections of trail:
  • Rock Lobster
  • Stan Salvador
  • Forest Stump
  • The Muddy Rut
  • Phil Mabracker

Blue 

• Rick Allsop (Trail Builder) has developed a Blue Graded trails adding 4km of trail packed full of features and for all abilities. Split into three segments:
  •  Dual of the Earn
  • Cookie Monster
  • Dark side of the blue.

Black

• The black has steep descents, rocky terrain, and tight turns. There are three black sections:
  • Natural Gold
  • Hairy Coo Black
  • Sloppy Joes

Bike Skills Area

• Due May 2025, the refreshed and re-bullt area will feature a brand new smooth pump track, designed to be accessible not just for mountain bikes but also for skateboards and BMX.

All Abilities Multi-use Trail - The Slow Worm

• In 2025 Comrie Croft welcomed an all-abilities, multi-use trail in its front field. The trail is designed to be accessible for a wide range of users, supporting inclusive outdoor recreation.
