The newly developed Loch Leven Heritage Trail has awakened interest in Kinross-shire as a walking venue.

It provides a wonderful flat, fully accessible route around the majority of Loch Leven.

However for those who are preapred to do a little bit of climbing there are tremendous rewards to be found elsewhere around Kinross-shire.  The hills around Loch Leven offer stunning views both of the Loch and over the numerous counties surrounding Kinross-shire and spanning the area from the River Forth to the south and the River Tay to the north.  They provide a reasonable challenge to those who find Munros a stretch and/or perhaps too far away.  For younger kids of around 6-8 years these walks are a good length and height to provide the thrill of reaching the top but not taking too long to get there.

There are venues steeped in history such as John Knox Pulpit, Stornachie which housed a distillery, East Lomond with its Limekiln walk and the Rumbling Bridge.

Many different views of the internationally important Loch Leven Nature Reserve and its residents are availabel and there are opportunities to view gliders and hang-gliders up close!

Leaflets detailing the walks are available to residents at Park House, but a good Ordnance Survey map is advisable if you want to tackle anything serious.
