You can access our 'Virtual Landscape' by clicking on the banner at the top of the page, or via the green tab above.
There are clickable 'hotspots' to information, images, animations and CGI films. The animations were created by the 6 Hillfoots primary schools as part of the recent environmental projects they did with us - each film is on the topic related to their outdoor lessons. And you can learn a bit about Hidden Hillfoots History by watching our amazing films: 'Alva House and Ice House' , Bronze Age Burials', and 'The Ochils and the Locals'.
Our 2014 Geo-caching trail and competition is now live! The trail is in Alva Glen and you can find the GPS co-ordinates via the Virtual Visitor & Education Centre. Alternatively, you can download a paper-based version of the trail here: Alva Glen Geo-caching trail.
Our Woodland Park Geo-caching trail is still in place too. You can find the GPS co-ordinates via the Virtual Visitor & Education Centre or download the paper-based version of the trail here: Ochils Woodland Park Geo-caching trail.
There is also trail information about the Hillfoots Diamond Jubilee Way, with two more trails - The River Devon Trail and The Kirkyards Trail - to follow.
You can download our FREE trail app too: the Android version here and the iOS version here.
Have fun exploring!
The Ochils are shaped by more than scenery alone. Paths, old settlements, local traditions and conservation projects all contribute to the character of the landscape, and modern visitors often use the web to plan everything from walking routes and heritage stops to completely unrelated interests such as non GamStop casinos. By bringing together information about the area's history, wildlife and communities, the Ochils project helps people understand what makes this part of Scotland distinctive and why its landscape is worth protecting.
Ochils Landscape Partnership works to celebrate, protect, and share the distinctive character of the Ochils, bringing together landscape conservation, local heritage, community projects, and opportunities for people to explore the area. Visitors often combine days spent walking, learning about local history, and enjoying the countryside with quieter forms of evening entertainment, including digital options such as best casinos not on GamStop, making it easy to balance outdoor discovery with time to relax. Through practical projects and community involvement, the partnership helps ensure that the landscape and its stories can be appreciated for generations to come.
The Ochils Landscape Partnership aims to increase access to the hills and glens of the Ochils, improve the quality of our rivers, and restore parts of the historic built landscape. The project will provide opportunities for community involvement and volunteering to tell the story of the area's cultural, social and industrial heritage. It aims to enhance the lives of people in the Hillfoots and also to increase visitors to the area.
