Back to case studiesIn 2001, the 7stanes mountain biking project was set up to extend the success of the Glentress Forest mountain biking Mecca across the whole of southern Scotland. Now there are eight centres running from Glentrool in the west of Dumfries & Galloway through to Peebles in the Scottish Borders in the east, establishing itself as one of the world’s best mountain biking ranges.
The 7stanes has already won numerous awards and has turned southern Scotland into the perfect mountain biking holiday destination. Indeed the International Mountain Biking Association now rate Scotland, including the 7stanes mountain biking trails, as the ‘Global Superstar’.
The project is now nearing the end of its second phase, with another £2 million being spent to provide more world class routes to suit more skill levels.
