Overview

 Glamis Forest & River Walk is in the lovely village of Glamis. It starts at the forest following a meandering forest path and track.  On reaching the bridge we will take a turn which starts the river walk.  This is a lovely walk good path, can get a bit muddy in one part but we can bypass it if it is too muddy.  Continuing down the river path we will go over three bridges and will visit St Fergus Well which is a natural spring below Glamis Parish Church.  We will continue up the steps to go past the Church, there is a hand rail.  We come out at the exit at the Castle.  Sturdy shoes would be recommended.
