The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre

I went to The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre for lunch followed by a stroll along the Waterfall Trail and up to the Red Squirrel Hide. I really enjoyed all the sculptures we spotted along the route, like the deer, the female figure and the mirrored silhouettes. The cafe was spacious with a good selection including pies, baked potatoes and toasties. It is also a good place for watching people on the Go Ape ziplines!

My daughter and I visited for a bit of lunch and was pleased to discover there were mobility scooters I could borrow and and accessible trail to a waterfall and a wildlife hide . There was free parking for blue badge holders next to the door. Moira on the info desk was fantastic and told me all about borrowing the scooter and where you can go. First of all we had a lovely lunch - I can recommend the haggis toastie! Then we got the scooter and followed the trail down to the waterfall then over a bridge and up to a wildlife hide where we watched squirrels and loads of birds. The scooters are free but you can make a donation to the Trossachs Mobility who provide them.
