We’ve been busy out and about on the trails, and we’ve uploaded three new trails this week all at Blairadam Forest near Kelty. Each walk has full accessibility information – they are all suitable for walking or biking.
Featured Routes
Balloch Castle Country Park
Where: West Dunbartonshire
Accessibility Rating: 3
Type: Circular
Balloch Castle Country Park is steeped in history and was the stronghold of one of Scotland's most powerful medieval families. Overall there are 7km of trails which are suitable for all abilities featuring woodlands, parklands, and walled gardens. The circular Southern Route, featured here, is approximately 3km in distance with plenty of rest points and with stunning views of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond. For the most part the trail follows flat, well surfaced paths, although there is a steep climb up to the Castle from the Shore. Some visitors may therefore wish to access the parking areas from the North Lodge entrance
More...Consall Hall Landscape Gardens
Where: Staffordshire
Accessibility Rating: 2
Type: Circular
Fifty years of amazing vision, careful planning and construction have created Consall Hall Landscape Gardens, which includes six lakes, various follies, summer houses, packhorse bridges and much more.All these have been blended together to compose a series of living, growing pictures which change throughout the seasons and according to the weather. The result is a treasure trove for garden enthusiasts, photographers, artists and families to enjoy and savour.Despite a few moderately steep gradients, the Gardens are for the most part accessible to people with restricted mobility. Paths are sealed with Tarmac and a buggy tour is also available for an additional charge.
