As Scotland’s second National Park, the Cairngorms are known for their stunning natural beauty.  It’s easy to escape into nature on one of the many hiking and mountain biking trails. Fishing is available in many of the parks pristine rivers and lochs. The park’s most famous mountain Cairn Gorm is a short drive, and during the winter months is open as a ski area. Ben Macdui, Britain’s second tallest mountain, towers nearby.

There are many places that offer activities to entertain all the family in the surrounding area. Landmark Forest Adventure Park is a hilarious day out with a range of attractions including log flumes, a treetop trail and the dinosaur kingdom.
