Overview

Having crossed the Wade Bridge, we will climb steeply up to atmospheric Weem Rock with its ancient and more modern rock carvings.  We will then descend through the car park by Castle Menzies and pick up the path beside the River Tay.  After following the river westwards we head to Camserney and begin a sustained, but not steep, ascent through Tay Forest Park on the hillside above Weem Rock before dropping back down to Aberfeldy.  Spectacular views. There are some sheer drops but these are away from the paths we will follow.
