Walking to The Enchanted Forest

This year, for the first time, The Enchanted Forest is within walking distance of the centre of Pitlochry. The route is clearly signposted (and shown on the map at the foot of this page) from the car parks in town and involves crossing the river by foot bridge. It takes approximately 15 minutes at a reasonable pace.
