Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve
Like a giant stone armchair, Corrie Fee is a wild amphitheatre of rocky landscape sculpted by the power of ice and water. The area is now a haven for the plants, birds and animals that are equipped to cope with the challenges of this harsh mountain environment. If you're lucky, you might spot a golden eagle or peregrine falcon soaring overhead.
