| Murraypark Hotel - Walking Holidays In Perthshire |
Choosing
a walking holiday in Perthshire gives you a chance to enjoy the best of
Scotland. Perthshire is packed out with stunning examples of natural beauty and
walks of all difficulties for walkers of all experiences.
A
walking holiday means you’re going to be spending your days in the wilds of
Scotland so it makes sense that you’d want to be accommodated in the highest
levels of comfort. There are many hotels in Crieff and the whole of Perthshire
which will cater to your needs whilst the Murraypark
Hotel stands out as a leading choice for real luxury at a great price for
your break.
Before
we take a closer look at the accommodation let’s consider some of the many
walks around Crieff.
Easy Walks
From
the Murray Park Hotel Crieff has many accessible pathways and walkways. The
Crieff Path Network varies from 1 to 8 miles and includes steep hill routes as
well as gentle surfaced paths.
Lady
Mary’s Walk is so named for Lady Mary Murray who considered the path a firm
favourite and includes a 1500m stroll through an avenue of attractive beech
trees. You will also pass the River Earn where professional salmon fishers
work.
Another
gentle walk is The Knock of Crieff, a wooded hill that sits above the town.
Climbing to the top is a little steep but it is a short walk and once you reach
the peak the views of Crieff and Strathearn are unparalleled.
Moderate Walks
If
you’re looking for a little more of a challenge and are hoping to return to
your Crieff hotel ready to climb into your comfy bed, then here are some
options for you.
The
walk from Dundurn to Saint Fillan’s Hill takes you from the steep rocky knoll
of Dundurn to the cell of Saint Fillan. You’ll see views across the area and
have the chance to visit the village of Saint Fillan. The terrain is quite
boggy and the path up is quite steep and rugged – it’s definitely a challenge
for dedicated walkers.
Another
moderate walk around Crieff is the 6.25km riverbank walk from Crieff to
Muthill. Beautiful woodland runs alongside the River Earn and the pathways to
occasionally get a little boggy. You can enjoy the picturesque village of
Muthill on your arrival and get a bus back to your hotel on your return.
Local Munros
If
you’ve got your sights set on conquering a Munro then the ‘easiest’ option is
Ben Chonzie via Glen Lednock, to the north west of Crieff. It’s conquerable in
around half a day and follows a simply path with heather moorlands to trek
through which make wonderful viewing.
Having
Murray Park as your base gives you the chance to truly experience natural
Scotland and the surrounding walk paths and natural beauty of Crieff. There are
many other walks around Crieff and Perthshire which you can find out about once
you arrive at your hotel or check online. Once you have enjoyed the beauty of
Crieff and the surrounding area it’s unlikely you’ll want to holiday elsewhere and
with the comfort of Murraypark to come back to at night you will not be
disappointed.
