Glorious Glentrool gravel
Forest roads wound for miles across the hillsides – built for logging lorries but ideal for our needs. We'd found the perfect place for some family cycling.
After settling into our little white cottage, we rode the path from the village down to the visitors’ centre. Off-road riding almost from the door. This was how things should be, this was going to be a good holiday.
The path would be the starting point for many of our adventures during our ten days in Glentrool. Winding through the trees, it can’t have been more than a kilometre or so. And the road it bypassed wasn’t exactly busy. But what the path represented was important.
