The Corbenic Poetry Path on the River Tay near Dunkeld is a rather lovely walk that doubles as an open-air gallery of sorts. You're following a riverside trail where poetry installations and artworks punctuate your journey, turning what could be a standard countryside stroll into something with a bit more soul. The whole thing unfolds along the water itself, so you get the natural beauty of Perthshire working alongside these creative pieces - it's well done, unpretentious stuff.

This appeals most to walkers who don't mind a bit of cultural texture with their fresh air, and poetry enthusiasts will get proper value from it. Kids might engage for a while, though the appeal depends on their age and attention span. The walk itself is the real draw; the installations are the bonus. Allow a couple of hours if you want to dawdle and read everything properly, maybe ninety minutes if you're moving at a decent clip.

Since you're likely staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Inver Mill Farm or Erigmore are both within five miles - this slots nicely into a holiday around the Tay Valley. It's not going to keep you occupied all day, but it's ideal for a morning before heading elsewhere. Check the website for any admission details or seasonal closures, though the path typically feels accessible. The Dunkeld setting alone makes it worth the detour if you're touring the area.
