A nice relaxing place to unwind, not long walk from car park. Wear sturdy walking shoes as steps can muddy and slippy if it's been raining..and don't upset the fairies.

Absolutely beautiful little hike up to the top to see the fairy tree. There are 2 paths to go to which have different tree carvings. Highlights were leaving offerings for the fairy.

Great quiet walk in amongst the Scottish forest great smells of pine. Quite strenuous in parts but 1hr1/2 round trip.

Pleasant enough woodland stroll with some fairy houses dotted along the trail. Would recommend going for the circular walk around past the river as described on walkhighlands for a bit of variety. Be mindful when asking at the wool centre and following that route you're walking along a road for a kilometre or so.
