Landmark, Carrbridge

An old childhood favourite, I grew up with the Landmark Forest Park near Aviemore firmly on our Holiday Map. Back then, we only needed the Tree Top Trail (not a red squirrel in sight today!) and the Clydesdale Horse and Sawmill to keep us kids happy. Now you can add to that the Runaway Timber Train (rollercoaster), Three wild water rides The Otter (pictured), The Wildcat and for the really brave, The Falcon. 



There's also the SkyDive if you fancy throwing yourself off a wooden platform 50 feet up or the Ropeworx, a high wire challenge through the trees (and a smaller version known as The Tarzan trail). Added to that are a maze which seems to have shrunk since I was seven, but is still fun, and the fire tower with 105 steps to the top and a 360 degree view of the Cairngorms. 


There are also lots of slides and things suitable for smaller kids (which bigger kids still fit on!)



After nearly eight years, Leah's favourite bit is still the Man in the Toilet, which you can see for yourself at the Sawmill! It's worth getting a season ticket if you are likely to come back twice within a year, so a good investment overall.
