Glenfarg Tunnels Walk
This walk takes you through the Glenfarg Tunnels, a pair of disused railway tunnels in Perthshire. Located just north east of Glenfarg village, you can follow the old railway line, now overgrown but accessible to walkers. The first tunnel, approximately 500 metres long, is dark and requires a torch for safe passage. Emerging into open countryside, the path leads to the second tunnel, slightly shorter but equally atmospheric. The walk is relatively flat, offering a fascinating glimpse into Scotland’s industrial past and opportunities to spot wildlife reclaiming the area.
You can continue your walking in the area by heading west to visit the Glenfarg Reservoir.

Tunnel on disused railway at Glenfarg. The village of Glenfarg is a small, tranquil settlement with a rich railway history. It was once an important stop on the Glenfarg Line, a key route connecting Perth and Kinross via dramatic landscapes. The railway, which operated from 1890 to 1970, featured the Glenfarg Tunnels—two substantial structures built to navigate the hilly terrain.
Since the line's closure, the area has become popular with walkers exploring the remnants of the railway and its surroundings. The tunnels are a striking reminder of the area’s engineering legacy.

Farm Track. In the trees to the left lies the old railway tunnel which went through Glenfarg linking Perth to the Forth Bridge. To the right you can see a lorry negotiating the steep incline of the M90 as it leaves Bridge of Earn. The valley of the Farg provided one of the few routeways through the Ochil Hills.
