For All Ages:

Perth City Kayak Tours (£35pp): These are about 2.5 hours long and consist on a guided tour from Willowgate, up to the city centre and back around past the harbour. They're really popular with tourists and locals alike!

SUP Taster (£28pp) or Kayak Taster (£24): Come down and have a play on our lagoon. Our instructors will give you all the top tips and make sure you have a fun and memorable time.

Archery Taster (£18pp): Have a go at your best Robin Hood impression, our instructors will be on hand to get you shooting for Gold by the end of the session.

Local Walking:

It is possible to walk directly from the cottage into the spruce forest at the back of the house, follow under the telegraph wires until the houses at East Tulchan. Up along the one track road and along the top of the golf course back home. A good 5km without getting in the car. You'll need wellies - just ask.

Keillour Forest is just around the corner and offers good circular walks/biking and picnic areas. Park in the small carpark and cross the road for the best walks.
