Walking

With over 1,200 acres to explore, there are some great walking opportunities in the Park. Why not take a small stroll to the famous Pithead and back through the woodlands to the park centre, or a ramble along the nature trail to enjoy a spot of bird-watching at the bird hide? You can also walk around the loch itself or take a longer trek up to Harran Hill Woods and beyond.

We always recommend you bring some appropriate clothing and footwear if you are going out for a walk in the Park.
