Connect Trochry with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Trochry to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Trochry’s Slow Ways.

It follows tracks through Griffin forest and windfarm, but views from the path were available from the great majority of the route, there were only a few short stretches where the path was hemmed in by mature forest. I have given it 4 stars, as I felt that using an adjacent, waymarked path, rather than the windfarm road, would have been better, at least for the walker. Maybe the windfarm road would be easier for wheelers due to narrowish gaps by the gates blocking vehicles from this route. One can gain the main road where there is a T junction of paths, and 100m along the wide road verge takes you to the start of the Griffin path network, and signs to Dunkeld should be followed. . However the Slowways route uses the parallel, and higher, windfarm track, which passes next to many turbines and therefore passes through a much more industrialised landscape. On exiting the forest, views open up again, and the route takes a farm track down to Ballinlick...

It might just about be suitable for robust off road wheelers, providing the steep steps at Dunkeld Bridge were avoided. A pleasant path beside the rivers, and some steep steps on the east side of the old road bridge takes the route up to the A923. Heading from Dunkeld to Trochry, the start of the route at the steps could easily be missed – see photo....

This heads eastwards to the minor road over Newton Bridge. This quiet minor road is followed over the bridge then eastwards to Rumbling Bridge, where the Falls of Braan can be viewed. Crossing the main road a farm track towards Balhomish is used, but before the farm a waymarked trodden route, with stiles, is taken. Once on the minor road it's a straightforward descent to Bankfoot, but the route takes a diversion via Byres of Airleywright, giving a change from the tarmac. The route crosses the A9 in a road underpass, then takes a route signposted to Five Mile Wood, past Ardonachie and Windyedge (travelling northwards, Windyedge looks rather private, but the path does go through its grounds in a straight line). TroPer uses the minor road (no footway) which enters Luncarty just north of the road bridge over the Ordie burn at Downhill (photo shows viaduct above this route). The walking route to Perth follows paths beside the river Tay, is narrow and undulating, with tree roots, and sometimes boggy, however it is a lovely route – note however that a new road bridge over the River Tay is planned (some trees are being removed in spring 2022) and temporary diversions may be necessary. (PerBla and DunPer use another route, passing the Albert Memorial and crossing the main road using traffic lights)....
