Campsites with rock climbing near Glen Clova

·

On the southern edge of Cairngorms National Park, Glen Clova is an excellent destination for hillwalking, with routes ranging from gentle strolls to challenging hikes. The best-known is Jock’s Road, an old driving route of 20 kilometres that takes you from Glen Doll, at the top of Glen Clova, up and over a high plateau that ends close to Braemar. The scenery starts as open grazing land and becomes more dramatic as you approach Glen Doll, while nearby Corrie Fee has cliffs, waterfalls, and arctic-alpine wildflowers. While exploring, look out for eagles flying overhead and roe deer wandering around the hills.

Campsites with rock climbing near Glen Clova guide

When to go

While most visited in summer, Glen Clova is a year-round destination. The landscapes vary throughout the year, from verdant pine forests in summer to snow-capped hills in winter. Winter visitors should, however, dress for occasionally harsh conditions and bear in mind that daylight hours are short. The best time to visit to see wildflowers in Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve is from mid-June through mid-August.

Know before you go

  • The weather in Scotland is always changeable. Bring warm, waterproof clothing for walking in Glen Clova.
  • Wild camping is permitted throughout Scotland, as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • The only way in and out of Glen Clova is via a single-track road with a dead end. Having your own transportation is essential.
  • Jock’s Road is a challenging walk, which has been the site of tragedy. Coming prepared and properly equipped is critical.
