Stop off at this natural resting place, where for centuries cattle drovers and other travellers along Glen Orchy have paused for a moment. The high riverside trail passes through oak, birch and rowan woodland that provides brilliant colour in spring and autumn and welcome shade for summer picnics.

This winding trail follows the River Lochy down through some beautiful native oak woodland.
Firm but uneven gravel path throughout. Includes steep slopes and one wide bridge.
Allow 1 hour
