This wildlife sanctuary is home to over 40 species of animals, including European brown bears, wolves, and otters, offering a unique opportunity to observe and learn about these amazing creatures up close.
Really useful local information about the badenoch area and wildcat sculpture trails. Staff were really helpful and informative. If you want to know more about Newtonmore pop in.
Friendly staff, wildcat experience is awesome make sure you have plenty of time to walk through the village. The wildcat trail is also really good. Be aware that these are separate activities. You do not find a lot of the wildcats on the trail itself.
Pretty fun area for a hike, especially with small kids. Some streams you might have to cross but not too difficult , although probably challenging for wheelchair. I think most of the cats are in town instead of the hike when I went there in March, but it's still very pleasant. Would highly recommend bringing a bunch of friends and competing who found the most cats first XD
My kids enjoyed the "finding wildcats" (should be called the wildcat experience)! There are 200+ "wildcats" in the area. You can buy a booklet from the visitor center and try to find them all! We managed to find 20+ only, but will definitely do it again next time the visitor center is just 15 mins walk from the Highland Folk Museum, and you can find free parking space easily!
Sad to say very disappointing. Very poorly signed posted. Not the best scenery. The walk took us along the side of a golf course. The Wildcats are ornaments not real animals. There are much better walks than this.
Really enjoyed the wildcat trail with kids. Really fun trying to find 132 wildcats
