The Discovery and Adventure Trail at Glen Dye
This trail takes you to some remarkably beautiful and very hidden parts of Glen Dye. Along the way you will find plenty to occupy all ages: from art to education, to physical challenges and more. Count the number of different birds you can hear and see, spot the deer, run wild and free in this secret trail in The Highlands.
Once the loop is complete, and you’ve discovered all activities long the way, head back to the Seed Store to collect your well-earned badge, and pick up a snack before heading off on the next adventure.
Along the trail, there are several way finder points for you to discover including:
- A ‘hidden’ tunnel to crawl through.
- A mirror maze.
- The spider’s web!
- A joyous and colourful cairn built using stones from an ancient stone dyke and painted by the artist Gail Bryson.
- Wildcats.
- And much more…
The trail is free for all guests staying with us at Glen Dye; it can be tricky at certain points, so we only recommend this route if you are steady on your feet.
The Trail
Follow the pink way markers over the lade (mill stream) which will guide you around our mile-long Adventure Trail.
Along the way, you’ll find natural obstacles to test your balancing and climbing skills. If you find them all, you can pop over to the Seed Store to collect your celebratory badge.
Trail Points
Along the trail there are several way finder points for you to find.
- A tipi frame made using fallen branches gathered from the surrounding woodland.
- A ‘hidden’ tunnel to crawl through. You don’t need us to tell you what to do here, but all ages are encouraged to have a go.
- Have a seat on the bench and see what you can see around you (while you catch your breath). Look up and see if you can see any clouds.
- A mirror maze to see the beautiful reflections of the surroundings.
- The spider’s web to test your scrambling skills.
- A cairn built by our fabulous team and painted by artist Gail Bryson using seasonal colours of Glen Dye.
- How many cats can you find hiding in the trees at Wild Cat Woods?
- Take a moment to take in the forest sounds on the bench.
- Finally, spot the life-sized outlines of a red stag and hind. There are four species found in Scotland: red, roe, fallow and sika, but only red and roe are native.
