Carron Valley Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

Opened in 1939 Carron Valley Reservoir provides water for about 135,000 people. There are nice walking trails around the reservoir or the managed woodland or use this as a base to start a longer walk up Meikle Bin or one of the other hills.

Meikle Bin Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

The descent off the top of Meikle Bin heading south is great fun. However as it enters the woods it becomes incredibly boggy and fairly unrideable - and that was having ridden it in August. Worth doing, but try to do it after a dry spell!
