Cateran Ecomuseum

This easy loop, suitable for most bikes, takes you through the spectacular scenery of one of the Ecomuseum’s loveliest glens. Riding alongside the River Isla, you will pass by some of its most historic sites and hidden treasures.

Cycling is a fantastic way to explore an area and, thanks to our experienced cycle leaders, you will discover more about the wildlife and landscapes in this beautiful place.

The straightforward ride will take between two to three hours depending on experience and is around 10km long on a mixture of quiet tarmac roads.

Places are limited to a maximum number of eight participants and booking in advance is essential – you can find further information and secure your place here.

This session is part of The Cateran Ecomuseum’s innovative Museum of Rapid Transition programme which aims to reconnect people to heritage and traditions that are hidden and/or at risk, showing their practical relevance for more regenerative ways of living, bringing people together and enhancing a sense of place, stewardship and community resilience.

The walk is being delivered by the Cateran Ecomuseum with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players, as well as the Paths for All Smarter Choices Smarter People programme and the Cairngorms National Park Authority.
