Before you even reach the shore, you can expect a number of activities to take part in during your Loch Lomond and the Trossachs holiday getaway. Ramble the mapped-out routes, cycling the many cycle paths or take on a climbing challenge with an experienced instructor, there is something for everyone. There is also a number of golf courses in the park for a more leisurely holiday experience. The most well-known is Loch Lomond Golf Course, which hosted the Scottish Open in 1996 and is situated on the Clan Colquhoun Estate, surrounded by magnificent mountains and the loch itself.
Walkers won’t be short of footpaths on a walking break to this national park as the hills and mountains offer endless trails and views. Explore the hidden gem of Puck’s Glen, named after Puck from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream, or if you want a chance of seeing the golden eagle soar overhead, walk along the Bird of Prey trail for a birdwatching holiday in The Trossachs. Although a 40km trail, you can follow the route in a car, bus or in parts on foot too.
The astounding loch has lots to offer to visitors, aside from the abundant wildlife and panoramas, with canoeing, sailing and windsurfing, everyone can enjoy a water sports holiday to Loch Lomond. If you prefer a more sedate water activity, there are quiet spots for swimming and paddleboarding sessions available. Whether seeking a secluded cottage by Loch Lomond, a pet-friendly log cabin, or a luxury cottage with views across the water, you’ll soon find the perfect base for your next break to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.
