Weem Wood lies on a steep craggy slope above the village of Weem. Begin at a small car park off the B846, 1½ miles/2.5km west of Aberfeldy. From here the circular walk is waymarked and rises steeply culminating in a fine view at St David's Well, a hermit's retreat used by St Cuthbert in the early days of Christianity.
The wood contains many fine specimen trees planted by the Menzies family in the nineteenth century to provide a spectacular backdrop to nearby Castle Menzies and gardens. (Open April to October). Refreshments and food available at The Quaich, Aberfeldy and in Weem village.
