Overview

A lovely circular walk starting at St Fillans near Lochearnhead. Walking up through Glentarken Wood into Glen Tarken and going round anticlockwise. Cutting across the glen we will return via the old railway line. Mostly on good paths and tracks through forest and open moorland with great views over Loch Earn.
