The village is set south of the Grampian mountains, protected on the north by the Doune braes and sitting just outwith the bustle of the newly formed Loch Lomond national park. A short trip in each direction will take you to North to Crief, East to the Ochils, South to the Campsie Fells and West to The Trossachs - but why not stay in Kilmadock and make the most of what we have here.

Within the villages and hinterlands there are plenty of good walks and also opportunities for cycling and horse riding as well as the opportunities offered by the river and lochs. Other environmental activities (bird watching at Argaty Red Kites, geology etc) are detailed in the heritage theme.

For others a day out on a driving tour is more appropriate as Doune has a surprising amount to offer the motorsport enthusiast.

Sports including bowls, cricket, curling, football (2 teams) are well supported and activities from learning French, through yoga to wine appreciation are regularly run for the adults. Younger members of the community can start at the toddler group and proceed through boys and girls associations to the youth group. A complete list of clubs and societies can be found in the community theme.
