Overview

A lovely circular walk starting at Woodhouse, St Fillans near Lochearnhead. Walking up into Glen Tarken and going round clockwise. Once at the north end of the glen there may be an opportunity to go up Creag Dhubh (additional 100m) but this will be weather dependant. Returning though Glentarken Wood. Mostly on good paths and tracks through forest and open moorland with great views over Loch Earn.
