Dronley Community Woodland MTB Trails

Highlight • Trail

For Trail MTB explorers on an adventure.

A selection of dirt tracks and paths through and around this community wood. There's a free car park at the northwest corner with an information board. After rain, there's plenty of mud for entertainment. If required, there's easy access south and west to the excellent path on the former Dundee and Newtyle Railway track.

View of Auchterhouse Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Auchterhouse Hill is the name of the hill north of the road. It's an ancient hill fort and at 426m the second highest point in the Sidlaw Range. You can't ride a road bike to the top though (or if you do it won't be good for your wheels).
On the road you get to the climb above Newton of Pitpointie and about 230m. The views north to the hill are good as are the views south down to Dundee and the Firth of Tay.
