Climb to Drimmie Woods from Rattray

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Don’t burn yourself out at the start, slow and steady, no pushing 🥵

For Trail MTB explorers on an adventure.

Views west over Strathardle towards Cochrage Muir.

The track east from this point through Drimmie Wood has many fallen trees in multiple locations blocking the track. People have made paths around, under and over the trees; passable using hike-n-bike but really frustrating and tiring with a heavy eMTB.

Parkneuk Stone Circle

Highlight • Natural Monument

Parkneuk is a ‘four-poster’ stone circle atop a hill that affords lovely views. Whilst one of the stones has fallen, the others remain upright and measure between 3-5 feet (1-1.5 m). The overall site measures 14.8 feet (4.5 m) x 12.5 feet (3.8 m) and is protected by a fence. Stone circles started to appear in the late Neolithic period (3,000-2,500 BC) and continued to be constructed into the Bronze Age.
