Planning an escape to a luxury holiday park or cosy timber hideaway in Scotland’s first National Park? This spectacular region is packed with incredible outdoor adventures, rich Scottish history, and jaw-dropping landscapes. To help you plan your itinerary, here are the 10 best things to see and do in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
As Scotland’s most southerly Munro, climbing Ben Lomond is a bucket-list activity for many walking enthusiasts. The steady paths lead up to a dramatic peak rising 974 meters high. Reaching the summit rewards you with breath taking, panoramic views across the entire length of the loch and its surrounding mountain peaks.
If you prefer a more relaxing way to experience the open water, stepping aboard a boat tour is a must. Operating directly out of Balloch, Sweeney’s Cruises offers wonderful hourly sightseeing trips, sunset journeys, and island discovery tours. It is an ideal way to learn about local history while enjoying the scenery.
Tucked away on the Cowal Peninsula, Puck’s Glen is a magical, atmospheric walk through a narrow, moss-covered wooden gorge. A well-maintained path winds past rushing waterfalls, rocky pools, and majestic tall trees. It feels like stepping straight into a fairytale and offers a fantastic, sheltered hike on a rainy afternoon.
Situated right on the western shore of the water, the conservation village of Luss is famous for its charming 19th-century stone cottages, neat slate roofs, and beautiful flower displays. Take a peaceful stroll down to the local pier, explore the historic churchyard, or enjoy a traditional afternoon tea at a local café.
For a unique vantage point over the northern stretch of the water, make a quick stop at Inveruglas. Here, you can walk up the timber steps of An Ceann Mòr, a striking eight-meter-high geometric viewing pyramid. The elevated platform offers a spectacular, unobstructed view of the Arrochar Alps.
Rent a bicycle and tackle the scenic 17-mile West Loch Lomond Cycle Path. This mostly flat, traffic-free route runs smoothly from Balloch all the way up to Tarbet. It hugs the shoreline tightly, offering plenty of scenic picnic spots, pebbled beaches, and panoramic viewpoints to enjoy along the way.
Located in the tranquil loch-side woodland right next to Lomond Shores in Balloch, the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre makes a fantastic day out for the whole family. Visitors can get up close to over 30 species of birds, including majestic golden eagles, owls, and kestrels, while learning about vital conservation efforts.
Situated at the northern edge of the National Park in the beautiful village of Killin, the Falls of Dochart are a spectacular sight. Here, the River Dochart tumbles over flat, rocky platforms right next to the main street. The rapids are exceptionally dramatic and thunderous after a heavy Scottish rainfall.
Head into the heart of the Trossachs to experience the peaceful waters of Loch Katrine. Booking a voyage on the historic Steamship Sir Walter Scott allows you to glide past forested shores that inspired classic romantic poetry. The tranquil, slow-paced atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing day out.
Catch a short, five-minute wooden ferry boat from Balmaha out to the mystical island of Inchcailloch. This pristine nature reserve is covered in ancient oak woodlands and carpeted with vibrant bluebells in the spring. Well-marked walking paths lead up to a panoramic viewpoint and an old 13th-century clan burial ground.
