Route Description

Adaptive gravel routes have been ridden and audited by Adaptive Riders Collective. Perthshire Gravel supplies maps, GPX data, a description of the trails and images of any obstacles so that riders can make their own decision of route suitability for their equipment and ability.
Please also be aware of how weather can affect trail conditions.

Adaptive routes are more likely to be suited to less-skilled riders, families towing cycles or trailers, riders of tricycles, or riders unable to manage lifting cycles over gates or fences. Whilst every endeavour is made to clearly describe routes and obstacles, Perthshire Gravel does not control or regularly review routes and therefore makes no guarantee of accessibility.

Starting at Strathmore Cycle Hub - which has plenty of parking and is wheelchair accessible with disabled toilets - head right on the road away from Coupar Angus and take the first right turn then immediately left into the park. Leeping the road to your right, head along the park to the end then left onto the road.

Follow this road until the T-Junction when you turn left then the first right. Turn Right at the next T-Junction and just before the village turn left at School Brac at 3.8km. Follow this route up, bearing left at the next junction and left again at the T-junction. Next turn right and follow the track up to the road.

Turn right onto the road then, just after some houses, turn left onto the track with a waymark sign for Lundie Crags and Tullybachart. Follow this track up the hill, through a small carpark and out into the woods. At 8km turn left downhill on a gravel track that brings you down to the road.
