Glenmore

Glenmore provides opportunities for outdoor activities, such as walking, cycling, orienteering, cross-country skiing and bird-watching in the forest, watersports, fishing and sailing on Loch Morlich, camping and caravaning or simply relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere of the pinewoods.

Glenmore contains some of the best preserved areas of ancient Caledonian Pine Forest in the country. This type of woodland formerly covered much of Scotland but due to large-scale fellings during the First World War and earlier for charcoal, farming and shipbuilding, little of this once vast forest remains.

Only about 80 hectares (197 acres) of this pristine Pine, Juniper and Birch woodland survive in Glenmore, though work to restore another 1000 hectares is well underway through the removal of exotic tree species and encouraging native species to regenerate.
