Long Distance Trails

With the country now on lockdown to help combat the spread of COVID-19, taking advantage of one trip outside a day is going to be more important than ever for our physical and mental health and well-being.

As government guidance says we should not do any unnecessary travel, please do not to take the car to visit the Cateran Trail at this time. You may of course explore it if it's within walking or cycling distance of your home, so long as you take care to respect social distancing and keep two metres apart from other people you may come across.

See the COVID-19 Outdoors Access Guidance.
