Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust have already spent over £0.75 million on projects along the River Tay Way on both the walking and cycling routes!

Current projects

New visitor facilities and information hub to welcome visitors to Highland Perthshire.

To be open year-round for the benefit and comfort of active travellers, the new welfare hub is being built in the Aberfeldy Car Park next to Beyond Adventure and will feature accessible and family-friendly facilities, waste disposal facilities for the growing number of motorhome users touring the area, and an information hub for the River Tay Way. 

Works began December 2022 and are expected to finish June 2023.
