Family woodland adventure in the Highlands
Tucked away in a beautiful valley near Dunkeld, Dalguise is the perfect place for a memorable family getaway. Surrounded by nature, it offers a great range of activities for all ages—from exciting classics like zip wire and archery to fresh-air adventures everyone can enjoy together. With modern facilities and stunning scenery, it’s an ideal setting to relax, explore, and have fun as a family.
Dalguise has a touch of magic—author Beatrix Potter spent her childhood summers here, and the surrounding forests and wildlife are said to have inspired some of her famous stories. Today, families can discover that same sense of wonder through unique activities like tree climbing and gentle walks along the burn, making it a fantastic place to connect with nature and create lasting memories together.
Our Scottish holidays at Dalguise are programmed with one 'flexi-session' available on each day - this gives families the chance to choose whether to take part in the activity provided, enjoy our other centre facilities, or venture into the local area to explore. It's your holiday, you're in charge!
Please note that due to the exclusive nature of the dates available for families at PGL Dalguise in Summer 2026 we will be operating our standard menus only, which you can find full details of here. Dalguise offers a relaxed outdoors focused environment for families and does not include a bar area - if you are looking for these facilities we recommend checking out Barton Hall or Caythorpe Court.
Activities at Dalguise
Abseiling
Aeroball
Archery
Abseiling
Got a head for heights? Enjoy heart-in-mouth moments as you scale down the side of our purpose-built abseiling wall.
Aeroball
Think 'volleyball meets trampolining'. Trickier than it looks, this energetic game is loads of fun as you try to score while bouncing!
Archery
Experience the time-honoured thrills of bows and arrows, with expert instructors on hand to help you hit the bullseye.
Canoeing
Unlike a kayak, canoes are open topped and many take more than one person. Whether it’s your first time in a boat on one of our lakes or you are a more experienced paddler, canoeing is always exciting, challenging, fun – and occasionally very wet!
Challenge Course
Ready to climb, crawl and tip-toe through our obstacles? Our course is sometimes wet and muddy, but always loads of fun!
Climbing
Can you reach the top? Experience the ideal introduction to climbing with our expert instructors to guide you. Once you're on the wall it's your determination, clear-thinking and encouragement from your family that will get you higher!
Fencing
En garde! Get to grips with the basic principles of this classic Olympic sport, with expert guidance from our instructors.
Forest Trail
Explore the surrounding forests and discover the local wildlife around your centre. Track the creatures you find on the forest floor and listen out for bird calls in the canopy.
Giant Swing
How high will you go? You’ll be harnessed into a two-seater swing before the rest of your group haul you up to 10m high. It’s up to you and your partner to decide when you want to pull the release cord to send you hurtling down towards the ground before swinging up towards the sky!
Jacob's Ladder
This giant sized ladder may seem insurmountable, however with a little help from your family you’ll be amazed at how high you’ll get. Push, pull and work as a team to get to the very top.
Orienteering
Let's explore. Learn map reading skills from our team, then put them to the test, finding control points around the centre.
Problem Solving
Up for a tricky challenge? Test your brain, solve complex puzzles and tasks, and work as a team against the clock.
Raft Building
Build a raft that will float (and hopefully steer) using the barrels, ropes and wood provided. Once built you will need to test it out on the water – will you end up in the water or will you stay dry? It all depends on how well you and your team work together.
Sensory Trail
Follow the rope and see what surprises await you. You’ll be blindfolded so you will need to rely on all your other senses to tell you what’s happening.
Survivor
Work as a team to build a wilderness shelter and learn to stay warm and dry using whatever you can find.
Trapeze
Each stage of the trapeze is a challenge in itself. First there’s the climb to the top of the 6 metre pole, then you have to get into position on the small platform at the top. You’ll need every ounce of balance you can find to stand up and then finally make that leap for the trapeze. You’ll feel an amazing sense of achievement when you succeed at each step.
Tree Climb
The countryside around Dalguise is home to some of the tallest trees in Europe. The best way to really appreciate the size of these beauties is by getting in amongst them and the easiest way to do that is to learn to climb them!
Vertical Challenge
A challenge courses but with added height! Secured to a safety rope and belayed by one of your team mates you’ll make your way, up through and over the various challenges which could include anything from cargo nets and climbing walls to crates and ropes.
Zip Wire
Take to the skies! Whizz at high speed in mid-air, through the landscape, in this unforgettably thrilling experience.
