Land OwnerForestry And Land Scotland
The Goblin sits neatly in the ground between the steep forestry uptrack (behind Balquhidder Kirk) and Kirkton Burn. With a nice small drop at the start (which sets the level of technicality) it then works it's way down to the edge of the ravine where it follows the line of the burn back to the Balquhidder Kirk. Great scenery and some interesting rock features, bridges and drops. Take care when riding close to the ravine - particularly at the final rock bridge
Access Info
From the back of Balquhidder Kirk Ride 400m up the steep forestry track. It's on your left as the track levels off (80m before the water supply treatment plant building on your right)
