Bob Bennett Walks - Quarrymill Woodland park Traditional Cache

Bob Bennett is a wheelchair user who has extensively researched, audited and assessed tracks and walkways around perthshire with people with disabilities in mind. Allowing them to enjoy the freedom of the countryside and encouraging places to make their footpaths and facilities accessible to all. He has produced a number of leaflets that can be picked up at tourist information centres.

The wooded valley at Quarrymill has waymarked walks that meander along the burn, some easily accessible by wheelchairs with wheelchair passing places along the track. Once a quarry with an abundance of watermills along the Annaty Burn this area has now been turned into a woodland walk, with a small cafe with disabled facilities.

Two of the walks within the park have been specially laid out for wheelchair users both routes following the route of the Annaty Burn, with the south side route continuing on a gentle slope through pleasant countryside to the suburb of Scone (2miles/3 km) (Note: The gate beside Scone Church is suitable for wheelchair users but may be too narrow for motorised scooters). Car parking is at the entrance to the Woodland Park (just off the A93 shortly before arriving at the entrance for Scone Palace).

Quarrymill Café is also at the entrance to the park and is open for snacks and refreshments from May to September, 10.00 a.m. till 4.30 p.m. Monday to Saturday..
