Scotland has many
unspoilt areas of rugged natural beauty that make it the ideal destination for exploring
the great outdoors during your holiday. Many outdoor activities can be enjoyed
in the Crieff area and within easy reach of Murraypark
Hotel. Whether you are an intrepid outdoor fitness fanatic or just want a
bit more from your holiday than a
crowded beach or bustling city, Perthshire has something for you.
Check out the
following local holiday ideas for exploring Perthshire and let us know your
favourite outdoor activities in the comments section below.
Hill Walking in Meall Ghaordaidh

Heading off the beaten
track for some walking can be a refreshing change from the well-trodden trails,
especially if you are in search of some adventure and solitude. There is a
wonderful alternative country walk around nearby Meall
Ghaordaidh that offers a new perspective to the standard route up the Munro
from Glen Lochray. This rugged 9.5 mile climb is just over an hour’s drive from
Murraypark Hotel and will take you around six hours to complete, so if you’re
staying with us you’ll be ready for a cup of hot chocolate and a warm bath when
you get back!
Action Glen
Action Glen is set in acres of unspoilt
Scottish forest and has the appearance of the ‘Ewok Village’ from Star Wars. A
spine tingling high wire tree top adventure park, Action Glen offers one of the
best wild days out in Scotland. Action Glen Adventure Centre can be found on
the grounds of our sister hotel Crieff Hydro and be reached in a quick 10
minute walk making it a fantastic holiday idea for families with teenage
children, as well as for stag/hen dos and office away days.
Open Water Swimming in Loch Earn

Our very own Loch
Earn offers one of the safest and accessible open water swimming locations in Scotland. In just a quick 30 minute drive from our
hotel, you can be re-energised and invigorated by swimming in the naturally stunning
surroundings of a Scottish Loch. It beats the municipal swimming pool any day! Have
you ever partaken in any open water swimming?
