A: All of our activities run in set sessions and we would advise you to pre-book so you are not disappointed, particularly if you can only come on a certain day or time. The speed in which our sessions fill up is very much dependant on the time of year.  For more activity information please click here.

Q: How can I locate a geocache on Rothiemurchus?
A: Geocaching is certainly an ever growing popular activity! We support activities that encourage people to enjoy Rothiemurchus responsibly; however, we also have to find suitable locations given the international environmental importance of 90% of the land. Our 70km path network has been developed to enable people to enjoy the forest without disturbing sensitive habitats. This in turn allows rare and endangered wildlife to thrive and for people and nature to live in harmony. If you would like to locate a geocache on Rothiemurchus please get in contact and provide information on the location of your proposed geocache. We hope that you will work with us to ensure that this precious natural resource is cared for enabling future generations of wildlife to prosper and humans to enjoy!
