Returned to Abernethy Trust with friends we met there 50 years ago, to celebrate our friendship as we met there in 1974. Warm welcome from Mark & Sam, staff members, who were keen to hear our story. So pleased to hear that the Centre is thriving all these years on.
The view and scenery was amazing and the cycle path was an adventurous and quite difficult to ride especially the rocky paths which I had to walk up, but I'd definitely do this ride again for sure.
One of the most gorgeous forests I have been too. Takes some serious walking to get there but well worth it
Beautiful place to visit and plenty of lovely walks.
Beautiful walk around surrounding area. The paths are well laid out and easily accessible.
I parked at the visitor centre and headed off along the river. This walk takes you into the gorgeous peaceful forest. Followed the way marked trail. Very beautiful
