Glenmore Forest Park lies at the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, offering centuries-old Caledonian pine forests, high rounded mountains, and Loch Morlich with its sandy beach — the highest beach in Britain. Families can enjoy walking trails of varying lengths, cycling routes, wildlife spotting, canoeing, windsurfing and sailing on Loch Morlich. The Glenmore Visitor Centre is a great starting point, with trails leading through ancient forest to beautiful lochans at the foot of dramatic scree slopes. In winter, visitors can try cross-country skiing or snowshoe trekking. The park is home to rare wildflowers and birds, with picnic spots and paid car parking available.
