There’s plenty to see in the attractive open woodland here, including one of the finest set of cup and ring marked rocks in Britain. Follow the Cup and Ring Trail to marvel at these mysterious ancient symbols. Take a gentle stroll around a fascinating wetland area or bring a picnic and relax in the peaceful forest.
Achnabreac is part of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, the birthplace of the Scottish nation. It was centred on Dunadd, a rocky crag just to the north of Achnabreac. This was the crowning place of its kings. Explore the area to find remains of thousands of years of human occupation.
Kilmartin House Museum is a great place to find out more about this area’s fascinating history. Along the Dalriada Heritage Trail you can discover more amazing cup and ring marked rocks as well as other archaeological sites.
Achnabreac is also home to the Firetower Trail. It's a single track mountain bike route through the forest with exciting options for the more experienced mountain biker.
