    • Whether you walk, climb, cycle, paddle, ski or take the funicular railway, you really should see the world from the summit of Cairngorm.

    This is the largest expanse of high level mountain wilderness in Britain, and is only slightly lower than the over rated Ben Nevis.

    This is an internationally important habitat for many rare, Arctic species, plants and animals clinging to the windswept summit plateaux, this is serious mountaineering and serious fun. Spot Ptarmigan and Golden eagles, Arctic Hare and climbers!

    Lower down you have much also to explore, including rare Scots Pine Woods - home to Capercaillie, Red Squirrel and Deer.

     Must visit The Old Bridge Inn. Better than the write-up. Great food and great people.    		irisbe Sat Sep 23, 2006 13:49 UTC
     Looks like a beautiful place! (that link to the view was a good idea) hopefully that its success won't put too much stress on the natural environment.
