Our Forest Drives are once again open for vehicle access. These facilities are a great way to get into the forest and see some stunning sights from across the country. ...
Strone Hill is a natural resting place for travellers. In the past, drovers watered their cattle here on the long walk to markets in the south. Today it's a peaceful spot to walk your dog and picnic by the river. The trail allows you to stretch your legs alongside the riverbank then takes you to an impressive viewpoint over the River Lochy falls.
This winding trail leads you through regenerating native oak woodland to the edge of the River Lochy and its spectacular waterfalls.
Firm but uneven gravel path throughout. Includes steep slopes and one wide bridge.
Allow 1 hour
