Glamping 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.

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde, all a gentle walk from the sites.

Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position. In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you. The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river. My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay. You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk! Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there. This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host. The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

Glen Clova camping 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.
