The Charcoal Huts - Isle of Bute

2 units · Glamping8 acres · Scotland
Our Huts are located within the Moss Wood area of Bute Forest - a mixed birch and alder wood that extends up the hillside to the west of the A886 that connects the Rhubodach Ferry to Port Bannatyne and Rothesay. Moss Wood has a range of facilities. Park on the shore-side where the coast can be enjoyed or at the main entrance, and take a walk up through Moss Wood along the Poetry Trail. A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles. Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest. From the viewing point, you can also explore interesting heritage features such as the old WW2 bunker, kayak shelter, Balnakailly settlement, and the SSSI oak woodland.

Beach camping in Clyde Valley guide

Overview

Immediately south of Glasgow, the region known as the Clyde Valley features much of the character of all of Scotland, so much so that it’s sometimes called Scotland in miniature. You’ll find all the best bits of Scotland here, from historic towns and imposing castles to waterfalls, hills and pristine natural habitats. You can pitch a tent anywhere from a small campsite on a working farm to a caravan park or in the wild. Take advantage of the warm weather and long daylight hours by visiting during the summer months, or soak up the rich autumn colours by visiting in September or Octeober.

Where to go

Lanark

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of New Lanark tells the story of the utopian industrial community created here in the early 19th century. It’s also the gateway to the Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve, where you can follow trails to see waterfalls and wildlife, and close to Lanark Loch and Corehouse Nature Reserve. Well-equipped campsites around here have space for tourers and tents.

Leadhills

Set in a high valley in the Lowther Hills, Leadhills is Scotland’s second-highest village and has plenty to appeal to outdoor adventurers. You can hike and climb in the Lowther Hills, or head onto the Southern Upland Way long distance footpath, which passes nearby. It’s also close to Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve, home to one of Britain’s highest waterfalls. There are a couple of campsites in the area located on working farms. 

Dumbarton

Dramatically perched on top of waterfront volcanic rock, Dumbarton Castle is the main draw in town and one of Britain’s oldest fortified sites. West of the town, the Overtoun Estate has wooded glens, parkland and gardens to be explored and the Kilpatrick Hills are within reach. Loch Lomond is also nearby and offers several campsites on its ‘bonnie banks.’

West Forth Forest

In the village of Forth, just north of Lanark, the West Forth Forest is ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding. You’ll be able to enjoy views towards the Southern Uplands and the Border hills and admire wildflowers in spring and summer. Campers can pitch a tent in a peaceful countryside setting.
