You can choose between 4 different trails of different lengths in Crombie Country Park. Fantastic strolls through the forest are guaranteed! My walk, following mostly the “Discovery Trail”, offers also a splendid view of the lake. Some practical info: the car park for the whole day costs 2.80 GBP (May 2020), and you’ll find lots of benches for a nice picnic :p
