WOODLAND WALKS
Carrbridge offers some short and pleasant walks within the village woods, as well as some longer pathways (e.g. to Slochd and Sluggan Bridge). The wood has a variety of mature, young, deciduous and evergreen trees and provides a safe habitat to many native plants and animals. The woods have a good path network with some way-marked trails. Some paths are suitable for bikes, ponies, pushchairs and wheelchairs. There are also information panels, sign posted entrances and a map of suggested woodland walks (available at Craigellachie House). Also within the woods is the peaceful village cemetery. Some rarer species of note are found in the woods including red squirrel, Scottish crossbills and crested tits. Roe deer and wood ants with large pine needle pile nests are also present, as are woodpeckers, sparrow hawks, wolf spiders, blueberries and many wildflowers.
