Local Walks
With countless scenic walks in and around Kenmore, there's no better
place to stay than Mains of Taymouth.
Kenmore Hill
An excellent waymarked circuit on and around Kenmore Hill. The hill has been
planted with Scots pines and other native trees and offers superb views of Loch Tay and the mountains
beyond.
- Terrain -
Waymarked hill path across moorland,
mostly clear to follow with a few muddy patches.
- Start -
Kenmore Hill woodland walks car park.
Acharn Falls
Starting in the
village of Acharn, this very beautiful walk, short but steep, heads through a Victorian
'Hermit's Cave' to view the dramatic Falls of Acharn. The walk makes a loop around a lovely
gorge, but also includes a detour to a stone circle with great views over Loch Tay.
- Terrain -
Good tracks and paths; care is needed near the edges of the gorge if the path is left. A fair amount of up and down is involved; this can be halved if omitting the detour to the stone circle.
Drummond Hill
Explore the mature beech woodland on the slopes of Drummond Hill. Zigzag steadily up through the beech and larch forest to Black Rock viewpoint for stunning views over Loch Tay.
- Terrain -
Wide, uneven gravel surface throughout. Long moderate slopes for up to a mile with some fairly steep sections.
Birks of Aberfeldy
This beautiful short walk is deservedly popular. Celebrated in a poem by
Robert Burns, the fine walk up the steep gorge of the Moness burn reveals several
waterfalls.
- Terrain -
Excellent waymarked path; a good amount of up and downhill. The walk passes above steep drops but there are handrails for much of the route.
Weem Rock
A short, steep climb to St David’s Well and a series of carvings in the
crags and trees that were inspired by the forest’s stories.
- Terrain -
Uneven gravel surface with some rough and narrow rocky sections. Some long steep slopes with several flights of rocky steps.
