CORE PATHS
Auchterarder has an extensive path network - providing plenty off opportunities for everyone to get out in the fresh air and enjoy some exercise, as ACSR strives to make Auchterarder to be the most active small town in Scotland!
ACSR is fortunate to have a passionate ‘Core Paths Working Group’ who strive to upkeep and improve our local paths. More information about the paths, and our team, is available below.

A9 Bridge Update
The Core Paths Working Group are continuing to investigate the possibility of having a fully accessible pedestrian foot/cycle bridge across the A9.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to complete the survey we had available during 2020.
ACSR continues to link in with various key partners - but, given the nature of the project, we are keen to have the support from anyone within the local community who has experience of working on projects of this nature. If you think you can help your local community, and ACSR, please contact us: tim@acsr.org.uk.
