Need a base at the head of Glen Clova? The Glen Clova Hotel sits right at the top of the glen road, a walkers’ and climbers’ inn with a cosy bar, real ale and rooms. It’s the obvious start or finish for the hills and corries at this end of the Angus glens. A long way from anywhere — the nearest station is Laurencekirk, nearly 30km east — so it’s somewhere to stay put and walk rather than pass through.
