Tickets are free but please book ahead to help us manage numbers.

Access

The northern Tay car park has the easiest access to the hillforts. Much of the path network is made up of wide, stone-surfaced forest tracks with loops of different lengths and grades. The unsurfaced paths can be muddy and very steep in places, especially the section to Moredun Fort.

Facilities

There are no toilet facilities on site, the nearest public toilets with disabled access are in Perth at Marshall Place, Ropemakers Close and Perth Bus Station on Leonard Street.

Extra things to know

Under 18’s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Well-behaved dogs welcome on a lead.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for a walk in the woods and on steep terrain. The group will be outdoors for around 2 hours, which includes a half hour on exposed hilltop. Good waterproofs, walking boots and warm layers are advised.
