David Marshall Lodge cycling and walking routes
Cycling and walking routes around the David Marshall Lodge


Achray forest - David Marshall Lodge map From the waterfall trail the path follows the route of an old drovers road as far as the Dukes Pass. Here the trail crosses the road and continues to climb through an open, regenerating native woodland. As the path rises there ar superb views across the Carse of Stirling and south towards th Gargunnock Hills and the Campsie Fells. The trail then returns to the David Marshall Lodge on forest roads through the mature conifers of Achray Forest.
Waterfall Trail - David Marshall Lodge map Enjoy a gentle stroll through the forest to the waterfall of the little fawn. Scenic in high summer and spectacular in spate.
Oak Coppice Trail - David Marshall Lodge map 390 million years ago the Highland Boundary Fault was formed. This trail combines information on the geology of the area with a walk in the forest and a number of excellent scenic features. A tremendous panaramic view from Lime Craig is the most outstanding. On a clear day Ben Lomond, Ben Venue, and Ben Ledi are clearly visible, while Ben More and Stob Binnein can be seen in the distance.
  Craigmmore Woodland Walk -David Marshall Lodge map The path, which is narrow in places takes you into the Craigmore Oak Woodland. As you walk the trail, you may notice that most of the trees are roughly the same size and height. To make way for a new generation of trees, a number of small areas were felled in the mid 1990's. These areas have been left to regenerate naturally and Birch, Rowan, Holly and Oak are all competing to fill the gaps.
