We sometimes need to close core paths to protect the public from danger or to allow essential work to take place.
Mountain bike trails - Carron Valley
Forestry and Land Scotland will be closing some mountain bike trails between 1 May 2023 and November 2023.
This is to safely carry out tree harvesting operations in the area. The forest tracks and paths around the works area will be closed while felling work is being carried out, and the public will be diverted to other paths where possible. Once the blocks are complete, the paths and tracks will be re-opened for public access.
Please follow the local signs' guidance and advice from staff members.
