If Mark Twain did say "golf is a good walk spoiled" then he certainly never visited a Scottish golf course. You can easily combine the two to enjoy some of the most peaceful and picturesque scenery here in Perthshire.
Up here at Murraypark Hotel, we encourage all of our guests to make the most of our great outdoors by enjoying a round of golf and long country walk. We have created a list of walks to help our guests who want to get out and about in the Crieff and surrounding area for a good walking trip. We can accommodate every level of walker, from the slow and steady ramblers who just want a short wander around town to the avid hikers who want a real challenge.
Some Walks to Choose From
If you want a short and easy walk, you can head for Lady Mary’s Walk which is right here in Crieff. It gives you an excellent view of the river Earn through an avenue of beech trees and is a lovely walk for those wanting less of a challenge with the same powerful scenery. We like to think we have it all organised here at Murraypark but if you fancy something a bit different then don't forget your passport to Crieff Hydro. This gives you access to lots of other activities and services at our sister hotel – possibly a relaxing spa after a long walk?

Something more Challenging
Something more moderate will take you on a 3.7 mile path through some beautiful woodland and heather covered moors. This trail along Birnam Hill offers a stunning view of the nearby towns of Dunkeld and Birnam and is well worth the trek. Depending on your frame of mind, abilities and physical limits you have the option to walk anything from 3 and 4 miles to 24 miles on some of the most challenging and strenuous routes, so have a look and decide which ones you would prefer. We’re sure you’ll enjoy a great night’s sleep in our comfy beds after all this walking!
