The best holiday destinations aren’t necessarily the ones with the longest list of attractions.
Sometimes they’re the places that put you close to everything while giving you somewhere beautiful and peaceful to return to.
That’s exactly what makes Loch Earn such a fantastic base for exploring Perthshire.
A beautiful place to start
Loch Earn Leisure Park sits on the southern shore of Loch Earn, close to the village of St Fillans.
The park combines lochside scenery, countryside, a marina and leisure facilities, making it possible to enjoy plenty of your holiday without even getting in the car.
But when you do want to explore, there’s a huge amount within reach.
Discover St Fillans
St Fillans is close enough to become part of your holiday rather than simply somewhere you drive through.
Walk into the village.
Explore the local area.
Check what’s happening.
The village has a lively community calendar featuring music, arts, exhibitions, entertainment and seasonal events.
The current What’s On programme is always worth checking before you visit:
Explore on two wheels
Cycling and mountain biking provide a brilliant way to experience Perthshire.
You can explore quieter roads and countryside at your own pace, or use Loch Earn as a base for more adventurous rides.
Spring and autumn are particularly good times to get out on two wheels, when cooler temperatures make longer rides enjoyable.
Get on the water
Loch Earn itself is one of the area’s biggest attractions.
The marina provides access to sailing, boating, fishing and watersports, allowing you to experience the landscape from a completely different perspective.
Imagine spending the morning on the water and being back beside your caravan for lunch.
No traffic.
No travelling.
Just Loch Earn.
Experience Scottish tradition
Perthshire’s Highland Games are another reason to use Loch Earn as your base.
Throughout the summer, communities across the region come together for traditional sporting events, Highland dancing, piping and entertainment.
It’s a brilliant way to experience Scottish culture while making a weekend of it.
And then come home
After a day exploring, you return to Loch Earn Leisure Park.
Perhaps have dinner at South Shore Lodge.
Perhaps sit beside the loch.
Perhaps do absolutely nothing.
That’s the beauty of having a base.
Your holiday doesn’t have to be an itinerary.
It can simply be a place to come back to.
One place. Many holidays.
A walking weekend.
A fishing trip.
A mountain biking adventure.
A family holiday.
A sailing break.
A Highland Games weekend.
An autumn escape.
If you’re searching for a scottish holiday, Loch Earn Leisure Park puts you in an ideal position to discover Perthshire – while giving you somewhere wonderful to come home to.
