Further Info : OS Landranger Map 52
This walk lies 4 miles/6km south of Aberfeldy and offers a pleasant forest circuit through a mix of conifer and native woodland. There are several open sections where heather and blaeberry predominate, with wide vistas north to The Foss Ridge and Schiehallion. The shores of Loch Hoil are easily accessible and the perfect mid way picnic spot. Roe deer live in these woods and, in summer, butterflies are on the wing, attracted by the wild flowers near the path. Begin at the informal car parking area off the A826 - GR 886 451. Not waymarked - map essential. Refreshments available from The things to do in Aberfeldy.
