About Craigmore Woodland Walk
This path, which is narrow in places, takes you into the Craigmore Oak Woodland.
As you walk the trail, you will notice that most of the trees are roughly the same size and height. To make way for a new generation of trees, a number of small areas were felled in the mid-1990s. These areas have been left to regenerate naturally and birch, rowan, holly and oak are all competing to fill the gaps.
How to get there:
Craigmore Woodland Walk can be started from David Marshall Lodge Visitor Centre in Achray Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Aberfoyle is the nearest town or village.
From Glasgow follow the A81 north to Aberfoyle.
From Stirling follow the A84(T), A873 then A81 west to Aberfoyle.
From Callander follow the A81 south to Aberfoyle, or for a more scenic route the A821 via the Trossachs.
The Visitor Centre is a mile north of Aberfoyle on the A821 (Dukes Pass).
