Take in the best of Stirling on a relaxed 3-hour guided ride using quiet roads, bike paths and riverside trails. With the choice of a standard bike or E-bike, you’ll cover more ground with less effort while exploring castles, iconic views and centuries of history.
The tour begins at Stirling Train Station where you’ll meet your guide and get fitted with a bike and helmet. After a short safety briefing, the group sets off along carefully selected cycle lanes and quiet roads, heading first for the historic Cambuskenneth Abbey. From there, you’ll ride towards the University of Stirling, enjoying open views and landscaped grounds before climbing gently to the Wallace Monument. The guide will give context and local insight at each stop, helping you connect the sites with the wider history of the region.
After a rest and some great photo opportunities, you’ll cross the famous Stirling Bridge before heading into the Old Town. Highlights include King’s Knot, the Church of the Holy Rude, Cowane’s Hospital, and the Old Town Cemetery, finishing at the Stirling Castle Esplanade. The use of an E-bike makes hills more manageable, but the entire route is paced gently for comfort and accessibility. This tour strikes a balance between historical context, scenic beauty, and time spent cycling without rush, offering a well-rounded way to experience the city.
The tour starts at Stirling Train Station on Goosecroft Road, a central and accessible location with direct transport links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands. It’s easy to reach on foot from the town centre and is close to cafes, shops and local facilities.
You’ll explore a variety of city landscapes—from riverside routes and parks to old-town lanes and elevated viewpoints. The looped route gives you a strong sense of Stirling’s geography, with minimal time spent near traffic and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the city at its best.
Riders must be able to cycle confidently in a city setting, including stopping, turning and pedalling on both flat and slightly inclined terrain. If a participant is unable to demonstrate safe cycling ability, the ride may be paused or stopped for their safety and that of the group. E-bike use is restricted by law to those aged 14 and over.
All guests are asked to arrive 15 minutes before the start time for fitting and briefing. Helmets are provided and must be worn. Flat-soled shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. Reusable water bottles are encouraged, and participants should book in advance to secure their space.
