- Red Squirrel Trail - 1 mile (1.6km) - an easy woodland walk that presents you with a good chance of seeing squirrels.
- Banvie Burn Trail - 3 miles (4.8km) or shortcut 2 miles (3.2km) - an easy walk beside the tumbling Banvie Burn. Please note the burn runs through a steep gorge in places, so children and dogs need close supervision.
- Farm & Forest Trail - 4 miles (6.4km) - an easy walk that takes you up above Glen Tilt for excellent views of the nearby mountains, and returns along the glen.
- Woodend Trail - 4.5 miles (7.2km) - an easy walk through woods and farmland with lovely views of Strathgarry.
- Glen Banvie Trail - 9 miles (14.5km) - moderate, a longer walk, but all on good tracks, taking you through the woods and out on to the open moor.
- Glen Tilt Trail - 10 miles (16km) moderate or shortcut 6 miles (9.6km) - a fine walk up one side of Glen Tilt and down the other. Some rough paths and stream crossings. This walk passes through sheep grazings for most of its route, so dogs should be kept on leads.
We can also offer a leaflet that provides supplementary route information on our trails for people with impaired mobility.

Head for the Cally Car Park, 1 mile north of Dunkeld off the Blairgowrie road. There are lots of paths and tracks here for you to explore by foot or on a bike.
