2. Glentress, Scotland
Best for: Absolutely every level of rider imaginable.
Scotland’s Seven Stanes (seven riding areas each with a “stane” or sculpture in the wilds for you to ride to) are perhaps the UK’s most well-rounded set of resorts. And if they crowned Britain’s trail centres then Glentress would be the jewel within that crown. A well-maintained bike park and incredible range of trails is all served by a new £5 million visitor centre set to open this summer.
