The approach to the Green Lochan may look a little different now, but it’s still beautifully peaceful.

Much of the area has reopened following the wildfires and clean up operations but there are parts that are still not accessible, so make sure to check current guidance before you plan your walk.

We've a well stocked kitchen with large induction hob and two ovens, so whipping up a feast is easy peasy. But if you're not in the mood to cook, it's just a few minutes walk to pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Or you could splash out and hire in a private chef.

An Lochan Uaine (Green Lochan) and Bynack More access reopens

Following the extensive wildfire in Abernethy Forest and around Ryvoan this summer, access restrictions have been in place over a usually popular area for walkers and mountain bikers during the clear up operation, as damaged trees were made safe. The restricted area had been reduced several times.

In welcome news, this week several key routes for walkers have reopened. These include the very popular walks to An Lochan Uaine (the Green Lochan), the full circuit over Meall a' Bhuachaille and the usual route to Bynack More via Glenmore Lodge.

The right of way through Ryvoan Pass to Nethy Bridge via Abernethy Forest remains closed beyond the bothy, but is expected to reopen in the coming days. There is still a restricted area on the east side of the ski road, including the trails from the Allt Mor car park that pass to the south side of Glenmore Lodge - so access at the moment is from Glenmore itself. A map of the restricted area is available on the Cairngorms National Park website.

All affected routes on Walkhighlands have been updated with the changes - visit our website for full details.
