Summer has drawn to a close with autumn and winter walk plans beginning to take place in our diaries.
With wildlife now preparing for the colder months, a brisk wander around can be a great way to immerse yourself in nature.
And luckily for the people of Scotland, two Scottish spots have bagged a spot in the top 10 most extraordinary wildlife trails. According to experts at Verdant Leisure,, two locations in Scotland provide the perfect place to soak up the scenery and take in the UK' most beautiful native animals. The list provides some spots you may want to add to your where to walk list during the colder months of the year in order to take in the most beautiful landscapes, from woodland to coastline, where nature lives and thrives.
The experts included a Perthshire park in the list, describing the location as: “Deep into the woodland, those exploring Tay Forest Park are likely to encounter exceptional native species. Foxes and pine martens roam the park, a haven of whimsical forest and huge lochs perfect for wildlife to thrive. Enthusiasts can also prepare for sightings of ducks, deer, squirrels and capercaillie. And upon the loch, you can bear witness as herons and kingfishers circle the sky.”
The forest is one of the most scenic parts of Highland Perthshire, with wonderfully varied patchworks of nature with lots of wildlife calling it their home.
The spot also provides some of Scotland's best loved viewpoints and tallest trees as well as being the place where tales of legends began, whether it be demons or dragons, saints or queens. The woodland trail also has unforgettable loch and mountain views. Truly worth a visit this autumn/winter.
