What travelers are saying

Then you reach The Green Torr, this is the highest point on the trail, with stunning views of Loch Trool and the surrounding hills, take a breather here to take it all in, because it's all downhill from here, quit...

Along the route there are escape routes back to the start on wide hard surfaces ( suitable for vehicles if necessary) Further along the blue route the scenery is stunning.

It's a few miles drive from the main car park to where you need to park to do the walk which takes in Bruce's Stone.

Good intro trails

First time riding here. Great for XC (purple trail), and the blue trail was ideal for inexperienced or first time trail riders. 45% of the blue trail is the green trail... then it's a short climb up to a fun and fairly long descent back...More

Beautiful Glentrool

Lovely visitor centre, the staff are always welcoming, and the toasties are really good. I find no problems with the unisex toilets at all, we are just happy there are nice clean toilets in the forest park.
