Oakwood Caravan and Camping Park

Catch a train on the heritage Strathspey Railway at Aviemore up to the village of Boat of Garten, on the River Spey. You can have a light lunch or afternoon tea on board as you travel through the Highlands, taking in views of the Cairngorms. Lifesize animatronic dinosaurs populate a wooded area at Landmark Forest Adventure Park (five minutes’ drive). If prehistoric beasts are not your thing, there’s also a butterfly house, a huge tower with 360-degree views over the canopy and seasonal attractions such as climbing walls and tree-top trails. Highland Wildlife Park (15 minutes) is home to Scottish wildlife such as the elusive Scottish wildcat. Other animals include wolves and polar bears, and there’s a drive-through area with bison and red deer.
