Walks and paths to explore

Where can I find a waymarked path?

Perth and Kinross has a wide variety of Path Networks for you to explore. Path networks have been set up by Perth and Kinross Council, Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust and local communities.

Path networks are all well signed and are way marked (small discs on posts indicating a route to follow). Many have their own leaflets which contain more information on the routes and things you might find during your visit. These are often available from local outlets, visitor centres, Tourist Information, and from our offices. A small charge is made for our leaflets to help cover the costs of production. Many of these leaflets are also available from this website as a free download (please note that some of these are large files and may take some time to download on slower connections).  

Path networks cater for a wide variety of users; some sections are accessible for all users. Cyclists and Horse riders are welcome to use path networks, but should be aware that path networks tend to be more heavily used than other paths so users should be aware that they may encounter more people. All users of path networks should ensure that they follow guidance in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code on how to take access responsibly.

Many of the path networks can be found by following the links on the menu to the left of this screen. Alternatively, hover your mouse over the map to find a path near you - then click to follow the link!

Who should I contact to report a problem with a path?

Many of the path networks are maintained by the Countryside Rangers, but if you come across any problems on the paths please report them to us by using Clarence  - phone 0800 23 23 23 or by email to Clarence@pkc.gov.uk.

Where can I get more information on a path?

More detailed information can be found in the leaflets which accompany many of the path networks. These can either be downloaded from this site for free, or they can be purchased at a small cost from local outlets, Tourist Information points and also from Perth and Kinross Council offices.

Are there any other paths to explore?

There are many many miles of paths throughout Perth and Kinross, these are just a few of the others you might like to visit;

Kenmore - There are walking and cycling routes on Drummond Hill. A one mile easy walk from Kenmore along the north side of the Tay to the Chinese Bridge within the grounds of Taymouth Castle. There is also a more demanding hill walk from the road through Glen Quaich.

Kinloch Rannoch - There is a short (approx 1 mile) circular walk at Kinloch Rannoch along the riverside and lower hill. A longer (approx. 2.5 miles) circular walk up Craig Var to the north of the village.

Rumbling Bridge Gorge and Crook of Devon - A 2 mile circular walk from Crook of Devon through the spectacular Rumbling Bridge Gorge. Cars can be parked in the village where the walk starts.

Where can I find information on Walking Festivals?

Perth and Kinross Council are also involved in several walking festivals which offer an excellent opportunity to explore routes with the guidance of an experienced guide.
