Cairngorms National Park — Attraction in Great Britain

Beautiful place. We stayed for 3 days at the 'Camping in the Forest' caravan and camping site on the shores of Loch Morlich - very overpriced...£35 per night. Tried to stay at the Rothiemurchus campsite but sadly it was full. Really great alternative. Went for a walk to and around Loch Eilean and was found it to be stunning. Lots of bikers around. The route was easy to fair so is suitable for children and the elderly. We also took a walk to the Green Loch that is accessed over the road from the campsite. Beware - if you want to go further you must take good equipment as the weather can change abruptly. Being in a caravan we made our own meals but lashed out on an 'all you can eat' at the Italian restaurant on the roundabout on the road to Aviemore from the campsite . You'll need to book this place as it's very busy. Great for kids! There is so much to do in the area including canoeing, clay shooting, enjoying the views from the top of the vernicular railway. Nice tea or coffee when you get there. In wintertime it gets packed with skiers and snow boarders. Go there on your own or as a family, it...

Enormous. Fabulous. Some of the best mountains and mountain scenery in the UK. Beautiful Caledonian pine forests, wide rocky rivers, awe inspiring gorges. Lochs in spectacular settings. An excellent network of paths. But much of the best, central area is only accessible to the fit and well prepared and equipped. In winter this is especially so... the conditions are often literally arctic. Cairngorm skiing is said to be good when the conditions are right. Good funicular service to the top of Cairngorm itself if you're not a wilderness purist, but badly spoiled by not being able to get out and walk on from the top. Not familiar with Glen Shee skiing, but the road through is fun,... watch out for swarms of motor cyclists There's mountain biking for all levels, especially in the northern forests. Roads are generally in good condition although not many of them for such a large area, and there are many sensibly sited car parks. Limited amount of accommodation and other facilities around the boundaries, for such a large area. Aviemore and Braemar are probably...

I can not recommend a visit to the Cairngorms National Park enough. Definitely need to stay a few nights if possible. I visited with my brother and his camper van during the English May half term (not the same school holiday as Scotland) for a week. Nowhere was busy at all and we had gorgeous weather the whole time. The routes around the park are mostly single track but have plenty of passing places. Just as well as the scenery is so stunning it's impossible not to keep pulling over to admire the views. Everyone we met was super friendly, Rangers were really helpful and the whole holiday was unforgettable. My brother is registered disabled with mobility issues and, although we didn't go off hiking, we had no issues with accessibility. Loads of information on the national park website, campervan and wild camping friendly. Can not...
