A lovely peaceful walk in the forest disrupted by timber lorries. Appreciate the loo so ■3 is ok.

A great place for a walk, some fine views and varied scenery. But ■3 to park? A bit steep! I don't think I'll be back.

Visited for the first time as I was in the area and wanted somewhere to give my dog a really good walk . We walked round the Glen Peggy walk. Nice forest walk and some nice views once you get out to the edges of the forest but you are mainly in amongst the trees. Nice and peacefull and plenty of places to get a seat and relax etc.Would recommend :-)
