Doune Ponds

Good paths on the whole, not all of which are surfaced or suitable for wheelchairs. Good online maps are available though which give details of paths. Main route round big pond is mostly OK but not entirely level, and has a few quite steep-ish slopes, which my husband struggled to get me up in manual chair, but we did manage in the end! A few lumpy tree roots to avoid, a few small potholes in places and one or two of the wheelchair bridges have a bit of bump or edge to get on/off, and one of the hides had a ledge/sill across the doorway which we could not cross. But a beautiful place, and very peaceful. Lots of flora and fauna to see. Quiet today, with just a few dog walkers.

A lovely Autumn walk around Doune ponds, through the woods. A couple of good viewing platforms above the water and accessible bird hides. Paths were fine even when covered in wet leaves and all mostly flat. Accessible parking was close by.
