Depends what you like, if you want family focused trail centre riding like carron valley then callendar park and Falkirk monument trails are similar (just without the berms etc).

For some natural riding mixed with jumps, gap jumps and nice DH then Cambusbarron and Bridge of Allan (Mine Woods) riding is pretty good. Also North Third and Dumyat for XC type riding.

In the Falkirk area itself there are some secret trails with jumps,gaps,shore and as there are near Larbert, some of are private land of local riders so you will have to ask first. We're riding on hardpac or even tarmac a lot right now until things dry out as most of the natural trails are still waterlogged and need to be left to dry out. 🙁

Plenty but you need to know how to connect them all...good mix but they are spread all over. Depends what you class as Falkirk area...if Stirling is included then even more like Cambusbarron, Dumyat and Mine Woods.

There's some nice wee bits of trail along at Muiravonside Country Park, hasn't done well with the wet weather (and horses) though. Also great wee trail from east of the viaduct down into Linlithgow (Avon Heritage Trail).

Callander Estate is mostly motorway, there's still a few nice bits up there, but they destroyed some decent bits too - shame they weren't a bit more sympathetic when they built the trails. Alright for a quick spin I suppose.
