Cyclists Welcome
Cycling is great fun for everyone and never has it been more popular. Cycling is a brilliant way to explore and enjoy the outstanding beauty of Highland Perthshire; forest clad-hills, mountains, lochs, glens, sparkling rivers not to mention fascinating natural history and wildlife. Whether you are a family wanting some safe but interesting cycling options or maybe you are up for a bit of a challenge; it doesn’t have to be anything strenuous or difficult. Consider trying out our Cycling Safaris – “Drop at the Top” to minimize the effort and lots of fun.

“We enjoyed the safari into the hills. We saw hawks, hares and Deer. The Golden Eagle came by when we were having our tea at the Bothy. The telescope was also a big help to spot Deer. We will treasure this experience Thank you for sharing it with us.”
