Great for: Lovely views and relatively flat. You can split your day out between cycling to the falls, exploring the falls on foot, and returning by bike.
Benefits: Conveniently starts at a car park. Rewards of seeing the spectacular Falls of Bruar. Great views of Blair Castle. Mostly estate tracks, so few vehicles.
Length: Approx. 14.5km round trip
Starting from Glen Tilt Car Park, exit left out of the car park and head up the hill towards Old Blair. Once at Old Blair go left at the crossroads. Follow this road down and under a bridge and then turn right, away from the Castle, when the road comes to a T Junction at the end of the West Drive. You will cycle on tracks past fields with the Castle to your left and slightly behind you. After approx 2 miles, turn right and then sharp left through a gate. The track then takes you towards the Falls. Explore the Falls on foot and then to return keep on the main track down towards the public road. Follow the public road for around a mile and then go back into the castle grounds through the gate at West Lodge. You will then be able to retrace your route back towards the Castle and round to the Car Park again. Have a good day out!
