Badenoch & Cairngorms

Encompassing more than 4500km² of the Scottish Highlands and upwards of seven towns and villages, the Cairngorms National Park is not only the United Kingdom's largest but potentially its most diverse. Home to pristine lochs, inland beaches, over fifty Munros and a spectacular array of rare and ancient plant species within its forests and parklands, there is no shortage of sheer natural beauty for visitors to experience and explore.

About Badenoch & Cairngorms

For those looking for an adventure, plunge into a range of adventure activities and leisure pursuits, from skiing to husky-racing, mountain-biking to canoeing and climbing, trail-walking to reindeer-spotting! On quieter days, explore tales of times past in The Storylands of Badenoch, where ancient fortresses, eclectic museums and opportunities to watch magnificent wildlife abound.

Finally, take some time to relax, recharge and rejuvenate at a cosy log cabin in Aviemore, a luxurious loch-side chalet in Royal Deeside (also home to the Queen's estate at Balmoral), or a decadent distillery in Grantown-on-Spey. With such a wealth of spectacular natural beauty, compelling Scottish history, and exciting outdoor activities to enjoy, the Cairngorms National Park truly has something for everyone.
