Walking Holidays in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

 

Nestled in the stunning Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, our beautiful landscape and wildlife provides wonderful walks, hikes and hills for all levels of walkers to enjoy. The Trossachs is a fascinating area often described as Scotland in miniature - brimming with forests, lochs and hills.

Woodland strolls, easy trails, harder hikes and Munros can all be found straight from the door. Ben Shian and Stuc a Choin are situated on the edge of our local village, providing the perfect opportunity to get the blood pumping. The cycle track, which is also a good walking trail, passes our site, running from Callander in the south along the shore of Loch Lubnaig, to Killin in the north via the magnificent Glen Ogle.

Other nearby hills that are great for walking include Ben Ledi, Ben Lomond, Ben An, Ben Venue, Ben Vorlich, Ben More, Cruach Ardrain and Ben Tulaichean.

Detailed descriptions of walking routes with maps can be downloaded from Walk Highlands. Maps and guide books are provided within all our holiday accommodations, and we can even arrange guided nature and eco trails on request.

We highly recommend exploring the stunning Queen Elizabeth forest with our local ranger, Adrian. He will guide you through the forest tracks and trails, giving you a fascinating insight into the flora and fauna that call this spectacular part of the world home. From plants and animals to fungi and trees, Adrian will share his intimate knowledge of the native ecosystems and ecology as you wander through some simply stunning scenery. As an arboriculturist, Adrian can also help you learn how to identify the different species of trees that grow in the forest, and talk you through the ongoing management challenges that native Scottish forests face.

If you prefer exploring the countryside by horseback, there are plenty of horse riding centres nearby. Trekking is available at the nearby Castle Redknock Farm near Port of Menteith - get in touch on 01877 385276.
