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.
