Lime Craig
The majority of this route is on forest roads, however the steepest section follows a rougher track which has loose surface material in places. It is safer to walk up this section and we therefore suggest that the route is walked in a clockwise direction. Enjoy the walk along the edge of Achray Forest before making the steep climb through the forest to Lime Craig. The views from the top are superb. Glen Finglas sits to the north and to the south Flanders Moss and the Carse of Stirling and onto the Gargunnock Hills, the Camsie Fells and The Fintry Hills. The trail then heads downhill through an open mixed conifer woodland and back to the carpark.
How to get there:
Lime Craig can be started from Braeval in Achray Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Aberfoyle is the nearest town or village.
From Stirling follow the A81, the car park is half a mile from the RobRoy roundabout. From Glasgow follow the A81 signed for Aberfoyle, at the Rob Roy roundabout take a right for Callander and the car park is situated half a mile along the road on your left side.
For public transport information follow the Traveline Scotland link under the Useful sites section opposite.
