Walk Description

Stage 1

The car park for Logierait Woods is up an unsigned track off the minor road which heads north from Logierait. There is an information board in the parking area giving details of three walks - including this one, which is waymarked in red. Begin by heading along the grassy track past the vehicle barrier. Keep straight ahead at a junction (where another marked route goes left); after just under1km the track leads past an old curling pond.

Stage 2

Shortly after the pond, take the left branch at a fork. The track now leads on towards the crags - ignore a minor branch on the left which is used on the return route.

Stage 3

Further on is a waymarked fork - take the left hand branch here, which climbs gently. Soon there are stunning views up Strath Tummel, with the town of Pitlochry well seen backed by Ben Vrackie.

Stage 4

After a long stretch with fine views the track climbs gently and enters dense forestry - take a last look back down the strath. Continue through the trees to a junction, and here turn sharp left (waymarker). The track continues to gain height and later passes through a gate.

Stage 5

When the track joins another turn left. The dense trees continue until another junction is reached - again, turn left here.

Stage 6

The track now descends and soon leaves the trees. There is a particularly steep section of the descent before it finally rejoins the outward route. Turn right here to retrace your steps - passing the curling pond - to return to the start.
