Cycling in Glenmore Forest Park
Cycling in Glenmore Forest Park
Glenmore has some great choices for cycling. Take the Old Logging Way from Aviemore. This traffic-free route follows the same path as thousands of tons of timber did in the past. The path is a well-made, firm trail with mostly gentle slopes. Stop off at Loch Morlich for a picnic on the way.
The Lodge Trail (from Allt Mor) and the lower section of the Ryvoan Trail (from Glenmore Visitor Centre) offer beautiful rides through the trees. The slopes are mostly gentle, so they’re good for all the family.
If you feel like exploring further, there’s a whole network of forest roads from the Glenmore Visitor Centre. Go on an expedition to find the abandoned township of Beglan. This was once home to a community of shepherds and farmers. Now just a few piles of tumbled stones peek out from among the thistles.
