The visitor centre explains the formation and folklore surrounding the Burn O'Vat pothole and valley. There is a toilet and car park here.

A good amount of spaces to park to walk to the Burn O'Vat or the various trails around Loch Kinord. Parking is free and there is a toilet too. The visitor centre when open has some good information.
