Knockie Bridge Over the Water of Tanar

Highlight • Bridge

Knockie Bridge crosses the beautiful Water of Tanar. The little hill that rises to the east lends its name to the bridge and there's a fine viewpoint for Glen Tanar …

Knockie Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Knockie Viewpoint gives grand views across the estate and the forests, which have all been planted since 1953. The benches here also provide a comfortable seat to enjoy the view.

Rest and Be Thankful Stone

Highlight • Monument

A nice spot for a rest on the Fungle Road singletrack route. There's a handy bench that I'm told used to have a view of the surrounding hills before the trees got big.
