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.

Enjoy a gentle stroll through the forest to the waterfall of the little fawn. Scenic in high summer and spectacular in spate.

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.

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.

Important Message from the Forestry Commission:
Many of the Forestry Commission Scotland's trails and forest roads are suitable for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Please show consideration and courtesy to everyone you meet. Some trails and paths are less suited to cyclists and horse riders because of the gradients and surfaces. Please behave responsibily in helping us to maintain these routes.

Please remember also that forests are working landscapes and that forestry vehicles also use these roads.
