A perfect day trip outdoors! Less than an hour’s drive from Glasgow Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park offer you a quintessential experience of Highland landscapes complete with forests, lakes, streams and steep, rugged hills. Hiking up the ancient volcano Ben A’an gives you a stunning bird’s-eye view across the mountainous world complete with Scotland’s famous ‘lochs and glens’.

Other suitable options to add to your hike can be a visit to medieval Doune Castle and/ or our local whisky distillery at Dumgoyne (not included in price).
