Favourites of ours are the Deuchny Bike Park in Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park just north of nearby Perth. The bike park has a good range of jumps and drops in a beautiful woodland setting. For a longer, majestic cycle route, try the Coronation Road, an ancient right of way to the forest of Scone, where ancient kings were crowned.

​
