Explore Dundreggan
You are not just a visitor to this landscape or to nature; you are part of it, and our rewilding journey is visible in the landscape here at Dundreggan.
It is in the regenerating woodland; in the birds, mammals, insects and fungi that exist together in the branches; in the bogs, roots and the earth beneath your feet.
Explore our footpath network to see rewilding in action and experience what makes Dundreggan so special.
We have a range of footpaths with different levels of challenge, from fully wheelchair accessible to steep and strenuous.
Each path offers its own opportunities to experience Dundreggan’s wonderful wildlife and heritage.
Our path descriptions and symbols follow Paths for All guidance and offer information about the gradient and surface.
