Ardyne Walk


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

About Ardyne Walk

This short circular route meanders initially through native woodland. As the path crosses the forest road, the steepest section climbs through young and mature conifer forest to the route’s highest point.

From here, stop and enjoy the views of the islands of Bute, Arran and the Cumbraes, before starting back to the car park.

See our main pages on forests around Dunoon.

How to get there:

What's of interest

Castle Toward was one of the first stately mansions to be built along the Clyde Coast. It was designed by David Hamilton in 1819 for Glasgow Merchant, Kirkham Finlay. An MP Lord Provost of Glasgow, Lord Rector of Glasgow University and East Indian Merchant, Finlay owned tea and cotton estates abroad. Finlay planted no fewer than five million trees, mainly oak, on his vast estate.
