The eerie ruins of Lennox Castle are situated in a secluded and rural spot. Built in the 1830s, the castle was converted into a psychiatric hospital in the early 20th century. At the time, the hospital was hailed as a groundbreaking facility and was the largest and best-equipped in Britain. However, the hospital was closed in 2002 amid ongoing reports of poor conditions for patients. These days, the impressive ruins are equally beautiful and haunting.

Unfortunately everything is fenced off, walled up or otherwise blocked off. But not bad for a walk. Unfortunately, it seems that a bunch of unreasonable people throw their rubbish in the forest there.

From up here, go down to a mountain bike trail.
