We are pleased to be promoting another path - Glen of Rait to Dalreichmoor via Shanry.  You can get details here.   This path can be combined with a walk on quiet roads through the Sidlaw hills returning past Evelick and Kilspindie to give a route that is over 6 miles long.

These paths are all easily accessed from Errol village and several run to the south towards the Tay and Port Allen.  The path to the north of the village is partly new and partly a reinstatement of the previous paths in this area.  This path is not yet fully constructed and may be muddy in places.

Type
Established paths
Description

The paths are largely along prepared farm tracks but some are on inclines.  Some paths are suitable for wheelchair, disabled, pushchair, cycling and horse access, but see the advice below.

The path along the river (Port Allen - Tay Lodge and onwards) is not suitable yet for cycling or pushchairs and will probably not be suitable for wheelchairs even after the proposed works.

The track from the road down to New Farm is quite steep at the beginning, please take care. 
Distance
Various depending on route taken.
Parking

 In Errol village.  Please take care not to block drives and access.

Special precautions

Care should be taken where paths are on farm land and particular care should be exercised when crossing fields containing animals.

Please note that the path along the banks of the Tay from Tay Lodge eastwards is not well defined in places. The full length of the riverside path, plus the two woods on either side of the track between Daleally and Port Allen, is a particularly sensitive area for bird life, so please keep dogs under close control.
