Planning Your Visit

Planning your visit

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

There are grazing livestock at this site, so please keep your dog under close control and let the animals have some space. Thank you for showing consideration for the safety of our livestock and wildlife.

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.

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.

We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.

Picnics

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.
