Cycling in Big Tree Country

Magnificent panoramic views, diverse wildlife and miles upon miles of little used routes throughout the area’s 2,000 square miles are invigorating and a real tonic for the senses.

Cycling is delightfully slow and gives you more time to relax and immerse yourself in the fresh clear air, tranquillity and breathtaking natural environment of Big Tree Country.

You can choose between routes which roll gently over rural south Perthshire, or rugged Highland tracks and quiet roads in the north and west of the area. Big Tree Country is a destination for all seasons, but if you want stunning scenery and vivid colours, come cycling in autumn when the tree-lined hillsides and glens are resplendent with their coat of blazing coppers, orchres and golds.

Off-roaders are well-accommodated too. Here you will discover an extensive selection of Highland forestry and other tracks, many of which are close to the main A9 road route north, and you can always be sure of a warm Highland welcome with a hot bath to soothe those invigorated muscles at the end of the day!
