Honeycomb Lodge

03/02/2025

Some ideas to explore when staying at the lodge. Castle Campbell is seen from the decking on the hill opposite the lodge and lovely when lit up at night 😊

Is your new year's resolution to get out and about more? Unsure where to start, and it's already almost February?! Don't worry, we've got you covered. There are plenty of great sites around Stirling to get your steps in, some fresh air, and make sure you'll be a whizz at the pub quiz history round. Follow along our Central Belt itinerary from Stirling to Doune!

Start at historic Stirling, where the best castle in the world is (if we do say so ourselves). Explore everything this small but mighty city has to offer! Roam the King's Knot, the royal pleasure ground below the castle, where monarchs once pursued their leisure interests. Or view the exterior of Mar's Wark, the remarkable Renaissance mansion on the road to the castle.

From there the world, or at least central Scotland, is your oyster!

In the Spring and Summer, head over to nearby Dollar to see the imposing fortress Castle Campbell, high above Dollar Glen, surrounded by a very dramatic landscape.

Then head North of Stirling and arrive at Doune Castle - one of Scotland's most famous spots, featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Game of Thrones and Outlander. As well as being a screen star, the castle boasts magnificent architecture, views and a peaceful woodland walk - for even more steps!

For an even more peaceful vibe, hope across to Dunblane Cathedral, a medieval church which stands on a site that has been sacred for well over 1,000 years.

In the summer months, head west of Stirling and cross Scotland’s only lake to explore Inchmahome Priory on a peaceful, wooded island chosen as a monastic sanctuary.

Have we got you hankering to explore yet? All of these sites are free to enter with a Historic Scotland membership, so if you want historic adventures in 2025, head to our website to find out more: https://www.historicenvironment.scot/membership/

We have managed to raise £500 for Hugos Home Farm 😊
It was £10 a ticket and the only deduction was the cleaners fee 😉

Where have the Ochil’s gone?
It’s still stunning looking out over the field with the sheep and cows but missing the hills 😆
