Review for Tarland Trails Drummy Woods Mountain Bike Trails

Iain Johnson:

Tarland trails should cover a larger area with longer trails which allow for a whole day out on the bike. Currently I cannot see why many people would travel large distances to visit the park. If there were an expansion similar to the likes of Glenlivet in size (a number of longer trails) we could see an increase in tourism as Scotland and the rest of the UK are lacking hugely in trail centres alone. The expansion of Tarland trails would be great for the North East cycling community (& the rest of the UK). More people would travel to the area, boosting the use of facilities in and around Tarland.

The trails at Tarland are well maintained and of a high quality. They are absolutely fantastic for beginner riders looking to learn the core skills of mountain biking along with the more intermediate rider who is competent with small, flowing jumps and looking to become more confident in the "park" riding aspect of mountain biking. The trails are well thought out and flow nicely through the forest. The jumps are relatively small which allows for progression to the less experienced biker. Good sized car park Good facilities in Tarland itself Easy ride (push?) up Family Friendly
