Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve

This beautiful region consists of clear pure water, interrupted by a generous sprinkling of green islands with gently rolling pastures and rugged highland peaks; a perfect place for hiking, bird watching or just communing peacefully with nature.

Reviewed By Andrew-Leakey - Leigh, United Kingdom

Underwhelming parking and track led to the most breath taking view. Stunning place in sunny weather. Then the rain came and we got rainbows. So beautiful. Little stroll around the lakeside to take some further views in. Gorgeous spots all around. Really enjoyed our visit.

Glen Finglas Visitor Gateway & Estate

The Visitor Gateway is open every day from 10:00am till 4:00pm between April and October. We close for the winter months (October till April) but you can still experience the sights and sounds of the Great Trossachs Forest NNR, by walking the way marked trails to see beautiful scenery and iconic wildlife. A range of paths from 30 minutes to 7 hours hillwalking are available, something for everyone. The Woodland Trust Scotland's Visitor Gateway at Glen Finglas estate features a range of information about our work to restore native woodland habitat. You can download an app to your tablet or smartphone to help you explore the area, find out more about our work on the estate, and pick up leaflets about other attraction in this stunning part of Scotland. Glen Finglas forms part of The Great Trossachs Forest NNR, one of the most significant woodland regeneration projects to take place in a generation, which stretches from just outside Callander to the shores of Loch Lomond.

Killin and Loch Tay Walks

Reviewed By TooLong2018 - Newent, United Kingdom

Buy the walking guide from the outdoor shop for £3 and take your pick. The old railway walks are best.

Ben A'an

Reviewed By mellm16 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Ben A’an is a great hike, it probably took us 1hr 30 up with a few stops and similar back down. It has quite a steep incline so bear that in mind, however the views at the summit are spectacular! Definitely worth a visit. Note** if parking make sure to get there early as on weekends it gets very busy after 9:30am and nowhere to park on the roads. Also bring midgy repellent it was full of them!

Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

Reviewed By R3904JEmikem - Whitley Bay, United Kingdom

We visited on a wet day to see the Little Fawn waterfall, which was in full flight due to all of the rain and was magnificent. The walk was one of four, beautifully laid out to allow the visitor to see a good range of scenery. Interesting sculptures are scattered around which fit in to their context and keep adults and children alike entered and involved. The fantastic lichen on the trees attest to the quality of the air. The fact that there is not even one cranky poor review here tells you everything you need to know about this facility.

Loch Katrine

Welcome to Loch Katrine - one of Scotland's special places. Just as special as the magnificent scenery is the famous steamship "Sir Walter Scott" which itself has been a landmark in The Trossachs for over a hundred years. Your visit is not complete without a cruise on this wonderful ship, or on "Lady of the Lake", the perfect way to experience the beauty of Loch Katrine. Perhaps you'll just want to relax with a coffee or a meal in the Brenachoile Cafe Bar, shop for a souvenir and take a stroll by the shore, or bring the family for a cycle trip?

We had booked the Loch Katrine cruise with afternoon tea afterwards in the Steamship Cafe. From start to finish everyone was warm and welcoming from the lady who took our booking , to Captain Steph and Debbie on board the Lady of the Lake to the lovely lady who served us our afternoon tea. It was such a peaceful day on the loch and the scenery was just stunning with the sunshine peeping through on occasions and skimming the snow top hills. Would highly recommend this trip

Falls of Dochart

Reviewed By sazzer11 - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

We had a nice little walk with kids and dog through the village in a forest covered path to the falls, really lovely and the kids loved climbing on the rocks, definitely worth a visit, nice looking pub/restaurant opposite the falls
