Glenmore Forest Park

This woodland was the second Forest Park created by the Forestry Commission back in 1948, and remains its most northerly.

Glenmore holds one of the few remaining pockets of ancient Caledonian Pinewood in Scotland. Major work is underway to preserve and expand this important habitat for future generations.

How to get there:

Aviemore is the nearest town or village.

From Aviemore, head east towards the Cairngorm mountains and the ski area. Pass through Coylumbridge and, after six miles, enter Glenmore Forest Park.

Glenmore Forest was bought by the Forestry Commission in 1923, only 4 years after the FC was created. It extends to some 3,500 hectares (8,600 acres)- half of this area is woodland and half open hill. Cradled in the middle of the forest is beautiful Loch Morlich with its long sandy beach. The park attracts over 250,000 visitors each year, who come here to sample the wide range of outdoor activities on offer or simply to relax in the seclusion and grandeur of the native pinewood.
