Craigellachie National Nature Reserve
Craigellachie National Nature Reserve encompasses a fantastic mixture of birch woodland, open glades and tree-fringed lochs, rising to a craggy summit with superb views out across the Cairngorms National Park. Take your pick of one of the four trail routes, one of which is all abilities, and enjoy the unexpected peace and solitude to be found here just minutes from the main road in Aviemore.
