Location Just 10 minutes from Kinross and the M90, Lendrick Muir has a beautiful countryside setting, but is so accessible with 120 acres and endless onsite activities at the centre.

Accommodation We are going to be staying in Glendevon.

Activities There are acres of outdoor space to enjoy outdoor activities at Lendrick Muir. Qualified activity instructors will lead groups to get the most from the activities planned for. There are also great facilities to run a huge range of activities: an All Weather Pitch for football or basketball, an Adventure Playground and even a Beach Volleyball court in summer. Enjoy Disc Golf, walks and trails in the forest or try out some team-building exercises. There are plenty of indoor activities available too! A massive games hall is great for ball sports and a ideal facility on a rainy day.
