Visit websiteThe walk and forest offer a range of routes, with the waterfall, wooden bridge, hammocks, and wildlife observation providing excellent views. The café is also highly recommended, particularly the coffee. It serves as a welcome treat, with great views after a walk. Please note that parking is payable at the top, and the cafe closes at 3pm. There's nothing overly unusual about this, just useful information to consider before you visit.
Lovely walk accessible for everyone! Staff was so helpful and got us a mobility scooter for free :) We took the white path and it was 100% worth it. A beautiful waterfall and bird/squirrel for everyone to enjoy, regardless of disabilities!!
A really excellent day out. We did the blue and the green trails and also stripped off at the red squirrel and bird hide where we saw 6 red squirrel and many wild birds. Plus we saw a sparrow hawk swoop down to try attack the small birds. A sparrow hawk only 3 feet away from you in full attack mode ; as Chris Packham would say “that’s why you lay your license fee”! The visitor centre is excellent also. We did stop at the cafe and it was really good food at a good price. Perhaps one or two extra vegetarian options would be appreciated. Parking is £1 for an hour or £5 for all day. Parking takes coins and card and is pay and display. All in all 5 stars.
Was lucky to come here for the second time on a scorching hot day. Loads of parking - we’d spent hours at the 3 lochs drive before coming here and still managed to find a space. The ladies who were working in the visitor centre were so friendly and knowledgeable. We’d asked them for a map so we could see the 4 walking paths and decide which one(s) we were going to do. We were given a map and ended up doing 2 of the trails. The ladies were then answering random questions my 8yo had about the area and such and then they spent 5 mins teaching him about contour lines on a map and comparing it to the 4D model of the hills they had in the centre. The 2 trails we did were just lovely. We followed the white trail first which is suitable for families and wheelchairs. This takes you down to a waterfall. There are hammocks, little hobbit houses, bug houses and a little water feature the kids can play in if there’s been rain. Cafe is as you’d expect with food and prices. We brought our own packed lunch and sat on the grass near the centre to eat. Keep a look out for the mirrored silhouettes in the forest (white coloured trail), these are cool and a little eery.
It was rainy day on our visit. The center was accessible for wheelchair. There is an accessible walking route. It takes almost half an hour. You will see an impressive waterfall, is called "the burn of the fawn". My partner was able to go close by wheelchair. The center even provides a scooter for people with limitations in mobility to go on the route. Beautiful scenery!
