Our Back Yard Guided Winter Walk - Inverness

Visit the stunning Reelig Glen with the 'Tall Tree Trail' & Upper Reelig’s amazing beech forest. Explore iron-age fort sites, a lovely woodland hilltop walk & take in some great views.
We’ll collect you in Inverness at your Inverness city centre accommodation around 9.30AM for your hassle-free, small group walking tour experience in the wonderful Highlands.

Reelig Glen - A 20-minute scenic drive takes us out of the city and along the southern shore of the Beauly Firth. Our first stop is a gentle hike (2km / 60m ascent) around the stunning Reelig Glen, this is a lovely walk along the Moniack Burn and is called The Fairy Glen by the locals. The glen is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its amazing array of mosses and lichens and is home to some of the tallest trees in Britain.

After visiting the folly, we cross the river and head uphill through the treetops to a section of magical open beech woodland now managed by the local community. Feel the crunch and shuffle of copper beech leaves as we descend some rough steps back to the car park.

A hidden gem that you won’t find in a guidebook - Driving for around 5 minutes we now head right into the heart of the In Your Element backyard. This hidden gem of a highland walk is a delight, and never in any guidebook.

This walk has a variety of different highland scenes, created by a bewitching array of heather, woodland, ferns, rocky outcrops, and cascading streams. This area is home to red kites, buzzards, red squirrels, badgers and several types of deer so keep your eyes and ears open as we hike.
Views of the hills and the Beauly Firth

Up through the pine woodland up to the forest track we will head to a hilltop for wonderful views of Ben Wyvis, mountain ranges to the west and down the Beauly Firth towards Inverness.

After a picnic lunch of lovely hot homemade soup and yummy local produce, we will continue down and through various highland scenes and visit one of the three iron-age fort sites in this location.

This highland location so close to Inverness, and offers a wonderful guided walk through the trees to immerse yourselves in nature and gulp in the fresh air.
