About Bailefuil Walk
Please note the walk is currently closed after the suspension bridge. Please follow diversion. Apologies for any inconvenience.
After the steep first section, enjoy walking above the village of Strathyre - mainly on forest roads. Capture the views across the s-shaped glen, which was chiselled out of the land by the brute force of a glacier during the last Ice Age.
The path is generally firm, although there may be some loose surface material.
This is a commercial tree plantation containing a variety of different species and age groups that enables the forest to be managed in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
Enjoy the tranquillity and variety of the woodland surroundings as the walk passes through the mature mixed conifer of Strathyre Forest. Many animals also make their home in the forest - look out for roe or red deer, red squirrel, buzzard, woodpecker or siskin.
How to get there:
Bailefuil Walk can be started from Strathyre Car Park in Strathyre Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Strathyre is the nearest town or village.
From Callander follow the A84 along the east side of Loch Lubnaig to the village of Strathyre.
The car park is signposted at the southern end of the village.
