Public Transport

The nearest train station is in Stirling, which has direct connections from Glasgow and Edinburgh. We’re a 30-minute drive from the station. There are buses from Stirling to Aberfoyle, followed by 25-minute walk, but make sure to check the last bus times. There are also taxis in Stirling.

What to wear and bring

Dress for fun in the forest! Closed, sturdy shoes are a must — no heels, slip-ons, flip-flops or Crocs (they might be comfy, but they're not adventure-proof). Keep your midriff covered so your harness sits over clothing, and tie back long hair — we don't want it catching in the treetops.

Oh, and trust us on this one — don't wear white. The forest floor has a sense of humour, and it doesn't play nicely with laundry day. Our adventures are great in all weathers, as long as you're prepared!

Our blog covers what to wear in every season and what to bring for a brilliant day out.
