Comrie Croft Mountain Bike Trails

Comrie Croft mountain bike trails are set in a private estate in the Strathearn Valley in Perthshire, Scotland. There are 21km of trails in total, plus a lot of natural trails in the Strathearn Valley. At the centre are black, red and blue trails and a skills park. The facilities include a cafe, a bike shop, hire, toilets and a car park. It is open all year round and free to ride. 

There is a Blue trail, around 4 km long; a Network of Red Trails (a mix of hand-built and machine-built trails); and a Black Trail. There is also a Bike Skills area with jumps & drops and a pump track

The MTB network is always developing, and there is also a bike shop, hire, repairs, coaching, guiding, bunkhouse, eco-camping, & The Tea Garden cafe on site. 

Red

• The red trail is around 6kms long, all red graded, but has sections that are technical and possibly a bit harder than other reds in Scotland. It is a good mix of being very natural and feature-packed, with features such as the bedrock slab, off-camber descents, a rock garden, water splashes, and fun descents. There is a downhill black XC section from the top of the red, which is technical. In total, there are approximately five red sections of trail:
  • Rock Lobster
  • Stan Salvador
  • Forest Stump
  • The Muddy Rut
  • Phil Mabracker

Blue 

• Rick Allsop (Trail Builder) has developed a Blue Graded trail, adding 4km of trail packed full of features, for all abilities, including adaptive MTB. Split into three segments:
  •  Dual of the Earn
  • Cookie Monster
  • Dark side of the blue.

Black

• The black has steep descents, rocky terrain, and tight turns. There are three black sections:
  • Natural Gold
  • Hairy Coo Black
  • Sloppy Joes

Bike Skills Area

• The refreshed and rebuilt bike skills area (for 2025) features a smooth pump track, designed to be accessible not just for mountain bikes but also for skateboards and BMX.

Dual Track

• There is a Dual Track that gets rested in the winter months, but great for dialling skills and or racing your mates. Push up alongside for easy sessioning. 

All Abilities Multi-use Trail - The Slow Worm

In 2025, Comrie Croft welcomed an all-abilities, multi-use trail in its front field. The trail is designed to be accessible for a wide range of users, including adaptive MTB bikes, supporting inclusive outdoor recreation.

Natural trails

• There are loads in this area in the Strathearn Valley, and the shop will help sort you with either easy, medium, difficult or expert-grade routes. Many of these start from the Comrie Croft Centre, e.g., Comrie village (easy, 4 miles), Loch Turret circular (difficult, 10 miles), Breafordie circular (medium, 6 miles), or the Loch Tay expedition (expert, 20-30 miles).
