Deep gorges, cascading waterfalls, Castle Campbell and woodland walks in the Ochil Hills

Planning your visit

Please note: unfortunately, part of the East Trail below the castle to the turn-off to the Quarry car park is closed to all users of the site due to unsafe bridges. Apologies for any inconvenience.

The woodland paths are strenuous and uneven due to the nature of the site.

Please see our drop-down Facilities below for helpful information about planning your visit.

Castle Campbell is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and operated by Historic Environment Scotland. National Trust for Scotland members and HES members can enjoy free admission to the castle upon display of their membership cards.

For more information about planning your visit please see our frequently asked questions.

Facilities & access

  • The woodland paths are unsuitable for wheelchairs or children’s buggies.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.

Walks

The glen is a popular place for walkers and the network of paths and trails is easily accessed on foot from Dollar, via the Mill Green, or from the Quarry car park. Please note that there are some relatively steep climbs and care is required on uneven and slippery sections.

Take a walk through the glen past Sochie falls. Admire the stronghold Castle Campbell, impressively positioned above the steep gorges of the Burns of Care and Sorrow.
