A mountain bike ride up Glenfiddich, past Glenfiddich Lodge and up to the Elf House cave and McHardy stone. We’ll take our time to take in the wildlife of the area.

Join the Dorenell Rangers for a Mountain bike ride from the Glenfiddich trailhead up to Glenfiddich Lodge, Elf House Cave and the McHardy Stone. We will be cycling at a leisurely pace to give us time to take in our surroundings and keep an eye out for some of the elusive wildlife along the way. This can include Red Deer, Mountain Hare, Merlin and Golden Eagles.

We will be riding on a mix of tarmac roads, smooth tracks and some rougher landrover tracks with small river crossings and suitable for more confident cyclists.

If you would like more information on the tracks’ suitability, please contact Dorenell Ranger Service.

We will pause at Elf House cave for lunch before taking a look at the hard-to-find McHardy stone before heading back the way we came in.
