Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park is a place of dramatic contrasts with its high mountains, rolling lowlands, lochs, rivers, moorland and forests. It stretches over 720 square miles and is made up of four areas – Loch Lomond, Argyll Forest, The Trossachs and Breadalbane. Watched over by Ben Lomond, Loch Lomond is the largest expanse of freshwater in Great Britain. Argyll Forest lies beneath the ‘Arrochar Alps’ with a stunning view from the top of Glen Croe. The Trossachs’ wild glens and lochs are shown off from Duke’s Pass to Loch Katrine. Breadalbane is the land of giants – Ben Lui, Ben Challum, Ben More and Ben Vorlich. Long distance walks include The West Highland Way and The Rob Roy Way. There are walks for all abilities and some fine mountain biking and horse riding. The park is a mountaineer’s paradise with great rock climbing and bouldering. Watersports of all kinds on Loch Lomond and the lochs in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park are complemented by white water kayaking on the rivers. Wildlife watchers can spot golden eagle, osprey, deer and red squirrel and seals and porpoises in the sea lochs.
