COVID-19 has changed lots of things we do. And as we re-open the majority of our facilities and welcome more of you back in Phase 3, we need your help to do it safely. Please check what’s open before you travel; enjoy your visit safely by following NHS and Scottish Government guidance; take your litter home with you; and follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Please bear with us and check back regularly for updates. You can also find more information by visiting our COVID-19 page and our FAQs.
A mix of old and new woodland with mountain views
Created in partnership with the local community, Crianlarich has three waymarked trails through a mix of young woodland and mature conifers with fine views to the surrounding Munros. It's the perfect place to stop and stretch your legs or walk the dog on the long journey to or from the West Highlands.
Walking trails
Woodland Trail
Wander through a young native broadleaf woodland, which offers great views over Strath Fillan and Ben Challum.
Uneven gravel and grassy paths, with some narrow and occasionally muddy sections. Includes some fairly steep slopes and a narrow section of boardwalk.
Allow ½ hour
There’s peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings along this trail, although you’re just yards from two of the busiest roads in Scotland. You’ll find picnic tables and benches among the young birch, beech and rowan trees, where you can relax and enjoy the views over Strathfillan and the hills behind.
Inverardran Forest Trail
Walk through both new woodland and mature conifer forest with great views of Ben More and Cruach Ardrain.
Firm gravel and grassy surface, with some uneven and potentially muddy sections. Some steep slopes. Includes some gates and a narrow section of boardwalk.
Allow ½ hour
Crianlarich Village Trail
A short leg stretch, linking Crianlarich and Inverardran via a lovely area of rowan, alder and birch along the burn.
Uneven gravel and grassy surface, with some rocky and narrow sections. Some steep slopes. Includes a narrow bridge and section of boardwalk.
Allow ½ hour
Look out for red squirrels and a fantastic variety of small garden birds that are already making their homes and finding food among the trees.
