the secret garden is quite near the tower or if you know the building set far back on clermiston road, there is a trail up from there... if you are still having difficulty, get in touch.

there is a secret garden with pretty big dirt jumps and me and my friends have built loads of dh trails on the side of the hill furthest away from the zoo

Where bouts on the hill is this secret garden?

Yes indeedy where abouts?

I've caught the bug after getting my new bike and going out to glentress this weekend but I'd love to know a few of the local spots so I can pop along after work and the such!

Any idea where on corstorphine hill we're looking?

There's a little area in the trees on orchard brae.
when you're at the roundabout at the bottom of craigleith road, heading towards comely bank/ stock bridge, turn right up the hill, about 2/3d of the way up is a turn of onto some houses, the trees on the entrance lead down to some sweet doubles but they really need some work


I'll check out the pump track. what's it like (@Jackg9619) ?

Sorry about the shitty quality. If you maps 'Orchard Brae', you'll see where they are. Let me know if you give it a go, and I'll come and give a hand - need some jumps myself!

Have you fixed these up at all? Are they rideable or do they need work?

You guys probably know this, but there are some amazing new trails with big jumps on the other side of the hill from the older Bonaly trails, in the MOD area.

I know about trails in Bonaly but I am not sure about the ones you are talking about. I know there are two big jumps separate from the others but that's all. Could you pinpoint the location on google maps?

If you go to the "trailhead" of the old Bonally trails at the top of the hill. Keep heading away from the old trails to the fence with the little dog hatch and the MOD sign. Cross over, staying on the left. Almost immediately you'll see some trails. As you head down you'll see a whole series of new, bike park style trails with big berms, drops and gaps. Check out Christo Gallacher on insta or YouTube and you'll see him riding them.
