Lochore Meadows and White Wood Bikepark

Lochore Meadows, known locally as The Meedies, is Fife Council's mountain bike trail centre at Lochore Meadows Country Park near Lochgelly. The site has green, blue and red cross-country trails, a skills loop, a purpose-built adaptive flowtrail, and White Wood Bikepark with its own pump track, 4X track and a blue downhill run.

The Trails

• Green Trail (6km): An easy loop around the loch, suitable for beginners, kids and all abilities of bike.
• Blue Trail (5km): Starts at the Outdoor Education Centre on the Castle Loop, then heads north to join the Bogey Trail and Nearly Knarly Nelly past the golf course. Cross the road for a go on the Benarty Brae pump track, then link through the AllAbility Trail to Chapel Chase and Lindsay's Loop.
• Red Trail (0.5km): A short, technical section in White Wood with drops and rock gardens.
• Skills Loop: Rocky elements, north shore sections, berms and rollers for building confidence before the harder trails.
• Adaptive Flowtrail (1km): Scotland's first purpose-built adaptive flowtrail, designed for side-by-side bikes, trikes, tandems and wheelchair bikes.

Fife Council has approved a further 2.5km of more technical trail into the neighbouring Harran Hill woodland, alongside planting thousands of native trees to extend the ancient woodland there. Check Outdoor Education Fife's Facebook page for the latest on what has opened before you travel.
