Pitlochry’s The Enchanted Forest

By Erica Crompton

There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there, Where twilight shimmers in crisp autumn air! The Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry calls, With lantern-lit trails and cascading leaves.

A symphony of colour, of music and light, Transforms Highland woods into pure delight. Laser-lit lochs and trees dressed in beams, Turn this quiet glen into the stuff of dreams.

Though the forest floor may be muddy this year, Don’t let a wheelchair hold back your cheer! Accessible paths wind safe and wide, And friendly volunteers are right by your side.

They’ll guide every guest with patience and grace, Helping all find joy in this sparkling place. You’ll find benches for breaks, and warm drinks nearby, With helpful hands if the ground gets wry.

Wrapped up in scarves, hearts glowing bright, We stroll through stories told in light. From whispering winds to glowing stones, Each step a memory carved in tones.

Whether you marvel or quietly gaze, It’s magic for all in a hundred ways. So pack your torch and winter boots too— The forest awaits and the magic is true!

There’s a magical place, and now we are near, Let the Enchanted Forest bring you good cheer!
