Been to quite a few trail centres but not all, and was just thinking that Whinlatter must have one of the best, if not the best, view. What do you think?
This was taken today by the way.

Good view, but the ben nevis red is an outstanding view!! not the best picture but you get the idea!
Its the cross between great views and an outstanding, thinking type of trail!

Very nice. I was up the top of Deadwater fell, Kielder red recently and the views are apparently spectacular. Can see both coasts on the clearest of days. Shame it was a rainstorm when I was up there, and you couldn't see 20 yards. One for a return trip.

Whinlatter's must be the best out of the ones I've been to. Been to Kielder twice and never seen the fabled view. 🙂

Wolfs Lair at Laggan surely has the best view of all?

The view from Golspie must be worth at least an honourable mention as, on a good day, you can see Jojos house.

Wolfs lair, ive got a pic of that somewhere as well! will have a look, found it! an yep thats me in the picture, i look tiny but the view is great!

Nice one at CYB, unfortunately taken on a phone.

I've heard that Balblair is the best with views of both coasts. I've yet to ride it but that will change very soon.

no picture but the view across the valley to the waterfall at Cwm Rhaeadr is awesome

Laggan again

I've heard that Balblair is the best with views of both coasts. I've yet to ride it but that will change very soon.

Looking east…

Looking west…

Golspie and Balblair are both very, very scenic!
Golspie
Balblair

Balbair looks a fantastic trail from that video – is it really full of loads of rock slab or have you just captured a few of the best bits?

Anyway, Learnie has some good views across the Moray Firth

Never been to Lee Quarry??

did someone say Golspie -)

It's really not fair, but Nevis Red wins tbh… It's an amazing view, and it goes on forever.

Meh really wanted to do that Nevis Red this summer and I've failed – oh well.

Yep the view is really nice up there.
Afan is nice from the high point on Skyline and Cwmcarn has a nice view over the Bristol Channel on one side and the Beacons on the other.

grumm, its an amazing trail, it sucks you in all nice regular singletrack, you go round a corner and its northshore, then rock gardens steep drops, more northshore then some quick switchbacks, its a rollercoaster of a ride and an emotional experience! scared adrenal rush! best ive every done, can't wait till next year when i go back again!

Its a bit far from birmingham to go too often!

ally – yes that vid is a pretty fair representation of Balblair. Its ace 🙂

(click for a couple more)

I think Laggan is hard to beat though (click pics for nice big version):

Looks a bit dull to me… 😉

Postierich – love that photo.

Another vote for the Wolf's Lair view at Laggan, which Hairyscary has captured the essence of pretty well. Loch Laggan is beautiful with its tree-covered islands, Creag Meaghaidh looming above it and the Nevis Range hills in the distance. Stunning on a clear winter's day. It gives me a rare feeling of deep contentment, which has usually evaporated completely by the time I get to Back,Sack and Crack Attack.

😯

Laggan for me. Although CYB does always provide some cracking views

Innerleithen, defo. Love Laggan and the rest, but the 360° panorama from the top of Minch Moor always does it for me. Ideally with the sun setting.

Like this stevo?

Just like that. I still miss it, even given where I live now!
