Our brand new nature trail is ideal for families, school children and nature lovers. Why not take a walk on the wild side and learn all about the natural environment?
On route there are interpretation boards featuring fascinating facts about the natural world, making the trail both a fun and educational experience. Meet the unique flock of Hebridean sheep that graze the forest and see if you can find our fairy circle!
The trail starts outside the administration building and covers approximately 2km. We estimate it will take between 1 – 2 hours to complete at a leisurely pace.
