Tayside and Clackmannanshire

Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve

Access

Although nature comes first on NNRs, people are welcome to visit at any time but please respect the wildlife and the people who work here. This may mean staying on the path when deer stalking (publicised in signs) is in progress. Warm, waterproof clothes are essential as this is a mountain environment and conditions can be severe.

Park at the Forestry Commission’ Glen Doll car park, and walk up through the forest to reach the breathtaking view at the start of the path up through Corrie Fee. The path up through Corrie Fee has been upgraded (recently) to ensure improve access and help ensure that visitors can use the reserve without damaging its special qualities - find out more about this project. A kissing gate and stile are there to get you through the fence (which is essential for deer control in the forest), please take care, especially if using the stile. To avoid disturbance to birds and special plants, we encourage visitors to remain on the path and keep dogs under proper control at all times. Sturdy footwear should also be worn as this track accesses a wild mountain environment and is uneven in places, with drainage channels crossing the path, and rocks encroaching in some areas. There are also short stretches of boardwalk without handrails.

Your access rights and responsibilities are explained fully in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Munros

'Munros' - Corrie Fee is a great place to bag some Munros from, with the nearby Driesh (947m) and Mayar (928m) being two of the most popular destinations to get to from Corrie Fee. (http://www.munromagic.com)

Stone pitching

Stone pitching was used as a hard-wearing surface for steeper sections. Stone pitching comprises various stone shapes and sizes, used in rough courses across the slope, to provide a series of irregular and random low steps and footholds, with a cobbled appearance.

We followed the Upland Path Advisory Group's guidance -

Upland Pathwork – Construction Standards for Scotland.
