Ardara Bridge, Cadamstown

Highlight • Bridge

Cadamstown is a quaint village that is the start of many scenic walks including the start of the Offaly Way. The village also has a nice little picnic area, public house, shop/post office and teashop. What it has more than anything however is a beautiful historic dry stone bridge called the Ardara Bridge which goes back to 1601. This is well worth going to see if you have the time.

The Lost Grove (Giant's Grave)

Highlight • Natural

The Giant's Grave, also known as Ardle's Grave, is a standing stone and burial mound located in a garden at Enochdhu, Perth and Kinross. It is believed to be the resting place of a tall Pictish leader named Ardle, after whom the surrounding valley, Strath Ardle, is named. The site has long captured local interest, with the burial mound now repurposed as a flower bed. Historical records, including observations from the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland in the 1960s, noted a faint trace of an incised cross on one of the stones. Although this feature is no longer visible, it hints that the stone may have served as an ancient marker.
