From hand-built, natural routes to larger scale trail centres, we design a broad range of innovative and progressive trails.
Every trail we build starts with one question - who is the end user?
By understanding who will use it, we can help you establish an appropriate plan for your site and design a unique, fit-for-purpose trail that complements the surrounding natural landscape.
Buildability is always at the front of our minds. Equipped with years of civil construction experience and topography expertise, we read the landscape and interpret the site’s features.
We'll assess elements such as ground conditions, aspects, the potential for construction access and how we can incorporate sustainable drainage to ensure the trail remains safe and durable throughout its lifecycle.
Any trail we design must be deliverable and meet the goals of the project. With our extensive experience, we can help you ensure that from inception right through to construction, every detail has been considered and that your trail meets, or even exceeds, your expectations. Our services include:
If the project is feasible, it’s time to start working on a detailed design. Our holistic approach and trail construction experience means we consider every detail to create a trail that people can enjoy, fits with your budget and constraints, and has a low environmental impact.
We’ll create a bespoke design for you that maximises the site's potential and embraces the landscape's natural features. From feasibility to planning to construction, we'll provide you with detailed drawings throughout the project that will give you a clear vision of the trail and an appropriate illustration of the proposed route for planning application purposes.
Because we design and construct trails in-house, we know exactly how it will work in practice. This means we can provide you with an accurate representation of how the site will develop and the associated costs it will take to make it happen.
We take great pride in building innovative and high-quality trails for various uses. By carefully scrutinising every last detail, we can ensure that we create safe, sustainable and unique trails that serve a purpose and add value to your community.
Tarland Trails initially began in 2016 as a project to develop skills focused trails and pump track. CRC were principal contractor and worked with designer Cycletherapy for this phase of the trails.
This project was to create a community-driven natural trail focused on less experienced riders. We wanted to create a trail with a low entry barrier but also a trail experienced riders could shred.
Constructed primarily with as-dug and processed as-dug sub soils, we've designed and built over 10km of blue, red and orange grade MTB trails at the Glenlivet Estate.
