About Glentress Freeride Park

Packed full of advanced level features, the Freeride Park is an ideal spot for riders looking to push their skill levels, style it up, learn new tricks or just hang out and ride with friends. It's located right next to the Buzzards Nest car park.

The park has a great range of features, small and large. Check out the information panels on site before riding. In addition to helmet and gloves, body armour is strongly recommended!

Check out more information on The Unnamed, Cycopath and Essentials trails, including up-to-date trail conditions at the official 7stanes website.

How to get there:

Glentress Freeride Park can be started from Buzzards Nest Car Park in Glentress Forest which is part of Forests of the Scottish Borders. Peebles is the nearest town or village.

The car park is one and a half miles east of Peebles on the A72.

Once on forest road go past the Osprey Car Park and follow road uphill beyond the Red Squirrel Car park. Follow the forest road for about one mile, the road splits to the left uphill from the forest drive. The car park is well sign posted.

Please adhere to the 15mph speed limit.

pretty good, the unnamed jumps are cool and the wallrides are easy to learn on. would be slightly better if the whole freeride park was a bit bigger and had like a pump track or something alongside. overrall: 5 stars :)
