Walking in Glenmore Forest Park
Walking in Glenmore Forest Park
Glenmore has some wonderful trails to explore. Here are some of our favourites:
Trails by the beach
Head to Loch Morlich and wander through a mixed forest along the easy Beach Trail. This goes by the Allt Mor burn and the golden sands of Loch Morlich. For a longer walk, try the Loch Morlich Trail, this two-hour circuit has fine views of the mountains as you wind through the woodland.
Forest trails
For a real taste of Glenmore’s mix of forest and hillside, take the Ryvoan trail to An Lochan Uaine (the Green Lochan) from the Glenmore Visitor Centre. There’s a lower section on broad, firm forest road that’s ideal for cycling or buggies. There’s also a upper section that dips and dives across the hillside, where bright green ferns nestle among the rocks. Go out and back on just one of the sections or do a circuit for the full experience.
Mountain walks
For a real work out, you can hike up Meall a’ Bhuachaille – the hill of the shepherd – straight from Glenmore Visitor Centre. The path doesn’t stop climbing all the way to the top at 2600 ft (810 metres), but the views are superb.
