Callander Woods Holiday Park

Explore a 14th century courtyard castle in Doune, with a striking 100 ft high gatehouse and one of Scotland's enormous great halls. You'll recognise it from the filming of Ivanhoe and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Stirling Castle is also a must see in the area, too.

Located on an island in the Lake of Menteith, Inchmahome Priory was founded in 1238 and plenty of the original building can still be seen. For fans of history and lovely buildings, Cambuskenneth Abbey hosts a fine collection of medieval grave slabs and architectural fragments.

A variety of restaurants, cafes and takeaways are all within an easy walking distance of the park including the Poppy Seed Restaraunt, Venachar Lochside, The Byre Inn, The Riverside Inn and The Lade Inn.

The areas around Callander Woods, including Stirlingshire, Perthshire, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs are home to an incredible choice of outdoor activities. Zipwire pros and those who've never swung through the trees will all love Go Ape Aberfoyle - one of the best high rope courses in Scotland.

Or if you'd rather stay grounded, this is a stunning place for walking, with a variety of low and high level walks available.

McLaren Leisure is a sport and leisure complex that prides itself on offering high-quality friendly service and facilities for all ages. After getting fit and active, you can experience the thrill of tank driving in Scotland plus many more activities at Tank Drive Challenge!

On a farm, just north of Stirling, you'll find Central Scotland's only red kite feeding station where visitors can watch these exciting birds and their spectacular flying. Plus at the Outdoor Activity Centre on the edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park there are fun activities for individuals and groups, led by an experienced team.
