Description
Dingwall Mountain Bike Trails
Dingwall Mountain Bike Trails sit on farmland at Knockbain Farm, on the edge of the Highland town of Dingwall. Built and run by the volunteer Dingwall Mountain Bike Trail Group in partnership with the farm, the site has three trails: a red graded descent, a flowing blue trail, and a jump line, aimed at getting riders of all ages and abilities onto bikes close to home.

The Trails
- Red descent: around 900 metres of red graded trail in two linked sections, known locally as Big Knockers and Chippy Run and referred to in 2026 local press as Upper Red and Lower Red. Full of berms, jumps and drops, and steep in places. The group has been upgrading the top section through 2026.
- Knockbain Blue: a flowing blue trail of around 1000 metres, built for rollable jumps and berms and suitable for less experienced riders.
- Jump line: a dedicated jump line alongside the graded trails for building skills.
The Dingwall Mountain Bike Trail Group is developing a fourth, more challenging trail at Knockbain, backed by Highland Council funding.
Local Organisation
The trails are built and maintained by the Dingwall Mountain Bike Trail Group, a Cycling UK affiliated volunteer group working in partnership with Knockbain Farm, with build standards supported by Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland (DMBinS). The project won Scottish Trail Project of the Year at the 2022 Scottish Mountain Bike Awards.
Getting Here
Dingwall Mountain Bike Trails, Knockbain Farm, Dingwall, Highland, IV15 9TJ. There is a small walkers' car park beside the trailhead. Many riders instead park in Dingwall town centre and ride up to the trails, since the direct approach road is narrow and passes several houses. Dingwall has its own railway station on the Far North Line and regular bus links, so the trails are reachable without a car.
