Surrounded by large Douglas Fir trees, this woodland trail forms part of the Tweedmouth trail from the Plodda Falls carpark. Named after Lord Tweedmouth who created the forest. These fir trees are not native to the UK, however they are now protected, whilst the remaining non native trees in the Glen are being replaced with native ones.

Plodda Cottage

Quaint cottage at the far end of this loop, just a quick 50 metre detour from the trail.

Plodda Falls Woodland Trail

Highlight • Trail

Just beyond the Plodda Falls viewing platform you are able to really hear the roar of the water, especially after rain. From here you can continue to follow either of the way marked trails, the Plodda Falls or Tweedsmouth trail, to the carpark. Take a final moment to glimpse the falls through the woodland before continuing.

Plodda Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The viewpoint platform by Plodda Falls allows to you take in the waterfalls in all their splendour. Rumour has it that Lord Tweedmouth even altered the watercourse to make them more magnificent. You are able to view the falls from both the top and the bottom.

Plodda Falls Hiking Trail

Highlight • Waterfall

Nicely laid out and maintained trail especially from the car park to the falls. Thereafter it is still well defined and signposted with either the green or white trail clearly marked.

The gravel car park is quite adequate (might be a stretch at the height of summer) in early September when I visited. It is reached from the village of Tomich where the single track road turns into a single track dirt track, Forestry Commission style, for the final three miles to the car park. Drive steady!
The map gives all the detail, history, trails information you could wish for, and even a free F.C. map of the trails in the Glen Affric area to take away. Choice!

Tomich Memorial Fountain

Highlight • Historical Site

This feature seems to be a combination of both a memorial and a water point. No water is running now but it must have been in the past. You can sit down and rest or hydrate and eat here
