    The vast Rothiemurchus Forest sprawls across the lower flanks of the Northern Cairngorms and is one of the largest areas of natural forest in Britain. The walking here is superb, with stunning scenery, vibrant and rare wildlife and glorious peace and quiet. There are also plenty of activities on the Rothiemurchus Estate, like quad biking, archery, clay shooting and a tree-top assault course.
