This walk starts along an avenue that is part of the designed landscape around Taymouth Castle. This end of Loch Tay belonged to the Campbells of Glenorchy, who progressed through the peerage to become the Earls, Marquesses and eventually Dukes of Breadalbane. Nearer Aberfeldy, it enters the ancestral lands of Clan Menzies.
The easy route follows the River Tay downstream, using waymarked paths beside it and its tributary the River Lyon. The riverbanks have a profusion of wild flowers, changing with the seasons from bluebells and cowslips to harebells and meadowsweet. Parts of the path are impassable if Tay is in flood and breaks its banks.
