From here either use the Core Path (part of the River Earn Path to Crieff) or use the minor road to Bennybeg then rejoin the main road....

An excellent route, we mapped the route from Starbucks, The Triangle, Inveralmond, picked up the cycle route no 77 and followed this out to Almondbank....

I have given it 4 stars as the stream at Loch Meallbroden could be tricky to cross, and the route west of Methven is not easy due to locked gates and rough ground (but this can be avoided if a minor road is followed instead). The route follows farm and forest tracks, paths, quiet roads and the pavement beside the A85 for occasional short stretches. From the centre of Crieff the route heads up Ferntower Road to an entrance to the Golf Course. Two stretches of very quiet road follow, linked by forest tracks through Gorthy Wood, and farm tracks from Keillour to Grundcruie. The route then takes some very pretty paths down into Methven Den and into Methven. But from Drumbauchly the easiest and quickest way into Methven is straight down the road, taking the Methven Den paths if time and inclination permit by briefly doubling back up the Newbigging Farm access track just after entering the village. The route heads westwards out of the village along the footway beside the A85, then it takes a signposted path towards Almondbank. East of Methven Castle, at a signpost well into the wood, the route takes a right turn towards Methven Loch (note that the paths shown on OS base mapping are not shown correctly). Then it follows paths and footways beside the road before returning to the lade at Ruthven Lade just north of Tarry Row....

Since Storm Arwen the section through Sallyardoch wood has been impassable due to fallen trees, but can be bypassed. P&KDC are understood to be planning clearance,...

This is best avoided using the Crieff -Muthill section of the Crieff-Auchtertarder route. The Greenbrae to Braco section is similar, but less easily avoided....

There are fallen trees across the path on Knock Mary, and stepping stone stream crossings in Glen Artney. The middle section is also relatively remote, (no facilities from start to end) and with limited phone reception....
