Loch Lomond 5K Route

This route offers train-loving travellers a stroll through Loch Lomond Country Park from Balloch station. You’ll walk alongside Balloch Castle Park before joining the circular loop over the hills of Knockour and Whinny. The paths are fully signposted and marked on various park maps. The starting point is directly at Balloch station, accessible from Glasgow Queen Street (Low Level) in 50 minutes by direct train.

The West Highland Way is the most established of Scotland’s long distance walking routes. This is the second of a five stage route, staying at prebooked accommodation along the way.

Conic Hill (361 m) forms part of the popular West Highland Way and as such is a busy little peak! The path is very well used, so navigation is easy, with a little scrambling over scree necessary close to the top. This is the perfect hill for a beginner or for a day when you only have a few hours to spare. The views are spectacular all the way!

An early introduction to two classic Long Distance Routes, starting from the picturesque village of Drymen. The West Highland Way is a long distance route that runs from Milngavie, near Glasgow, all the way to Fort William, and it passes close to Drymen. The Rob Roy Way starts in Drymen and ends in Pitlochry.

This second stage of the WHW is superb! It comprises three distinct sections. First, you cross a lovely wooded area. Then, after a pleasant walk across meadows, you climb Conic Hill, from where there is a sweeping view of the Highlands and Loch Lomond. After a steep descent to the harbour at Balmaha, the route alternates between sections along the lakeshore and ascents and descents through the forest.

An easy walk around the pretty conservation village of Luss, famous for having been the setting for the successful TV soap ‘High Road’. This walk encompasses it’s sandy beach, the Luss Water and a quiet woodland containing remnants of a former slate quarry.

Dog friendly circular walk to Beinn Dubh summit from the village of Luss. Great views over Loch Lomond.

A magnificent hike offering stunning views of Loch Lomond and panoramic vistas from the summit. This hike is not suitable for beginners due to the long and steep climb. There is no shade along the route. Be sure to wear sturdy footwear as the summit is muddy in places and rocky in others.
