About Glenmore Forest Park Visitor Centre

Glenmore Visitor Centre offers a forest shop, cafe and toilets, as well as an audio-visual presentation and displays about the native pinewoods and the work being carried out to restore them.

Our annual What's On programme runs from April to September each year.

Why not call into the visitor centre for details, or for our leaflets showing all the forest walks, cycle trails and cross-country ski routes in Glenmore Forest.

How to get there:

Glenmore Forest Park Visitor Centre is in Glenmore which is part of Glenmore Forest Park. Aviemore is the nearest town or village.

After you enter Glenmore Forest Park, Loch Morlich is on your right-hand side. Once at the east end of Loch Morlich, you pass a shop on the right before reaching the Glenmore Caravan and Camping site.

Directly opposite the entrance to the campsite is the access road into the Visitor Centre - lookout for the big green sign!

I'm sure it's lovely, but if you arrive after 10pm on a Friday night then (a) the gate is locked (b) there's nowhere to park outside of the gate (c) there's a bewildering array of extra charges to pay on top of the already very high price. All you need to do is move the gate further inside the site and designate a camping area for late arrivals.
