Walking and Cycling Routes from Inveruglas

3.5 Mile Walk from Inveruglas

This walk is about a 3 1/2 mile walk and gets the heart going up the hill

This is not a boring route, mixing the grand ruins of Ruthven Barracks, open heather moorland with a “chill out and relax” feel, the wonderful Glen Tromie and to end the walk through the RSPB reserve overlooking the Insh Marshes.

TERRAIN

Paths all the way; some of the old right of way between Ruthven and Glen Tromie is a little overgrown or boggy; the rest of the walk is on a tarred private road and well-waymarked trails. Two streams near the start could be hard to cross in wet weather. Click here for more details on this walk.

Not a really obvious or outstanding hill, Meallach Mhor has a great spot to take advantage of the vista. The fastest approach is along Glen Tromie; the walk shown in more detail on the link makes a fuller day by coming back along the heathery ridge over Croidh-la to take advantage of the views.

TERRAIN

Long tarmac track through glen; hill section is uneven, often pathless heathery slopes.  Follow this link for more details of the walk.

A wonderful walk investigating the fringe of the Insh Marshes RSPB nature reserve with great views and changeable countryside. Bring binoculars for the three bird hides.

This route took me about 90 mins and includes going up the ridge over looking the Uath Lochan Lochs

 

One of the many of options available when cycling the paths and trails around the forests of Glenmore & Rothiemurchus at Aviemore.

 

This route follows the road up the cyclepath at the start, which gets you a good gain in height, but over a long gradual slope so you don’t really notice that you’re climbing all the time.

We had a real fun morning at http://www.zippark.co.uk/ , this video is our review on Zip Trek Park on the Alvie estate. We stayed at Kirkstone Lodge in Inveruglas which is only about 15 minutes away by car.

Zip Lines of all sizes and lengths in a stunning location.

We went out for the day while staying at Kirkstone Lodge in Inveruglas to visit the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye. Well worth the trip, the boys really enjoyed the day out.
