Glentress Forest

About this place

7stanes mountain bike centre near Peebles with family-friendly trails and a play area.

Part of the well-regarded 7stanes network of mountain biking centres, Glentress near Peebles offers trails ranging from gentle, family-friendly green routes to serious red and black graded tracks for experienced riders, alongside walking paths through the forest for those without bikes. A play area near the main car park gives younger children somewhere to let off energy before or after a ride, and a bike hire shop on site means visiting families don't need their own equipment. It's a genuinely large site, so there's enough here for a full day regardless of ability. It's free to enter the forest, with charges for bike hire and some facilities.
