Ardentinny -Clunie Oak Wood Discovery Trail (Family Walk)   Follow the trail through the oak woodland and keep a keen eye out for red squirrels and the wee green survivors known as Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and lichens) which colonise the damp, dark nooks and crannies. Going is fairly easy on well surfaced trail with a few gentle slopes and one wooden bridge to cross.
The walk fees from this walk will be donated to the local charity Interloch which is a charitable community transport service……..
