About Lauder car park
Lauder car park marks the start of three circular walks, along with a number of cycle routes.
The Waterfalls Walk hosts a large variety of unusual rhododendrons.
See also our pages on forests around Dunoon.
How to get there:
Lauder car park is in Glenbranter Forest which is part of Argyll Forest Park. Dunoon is the nearest town or village.
There are two equally appealling approaches to the Forest Park from Glasgow.
By car ferry from Gourock to Dunoon, or by the A82 along the western shore of Loch Lomond through Tarbet, entering the Park at Arrochar.
From Dunoon take the A815 north, along the east side of Loch Eck.
From Arrochar take the A83(T) up and over the Rest and Be Thankful, turning left onto the A815 at the west end of Glen Kinglas. Head south along the east side of Loch Fyne towards Strachur. Glenbranter is about three miles south of Strachur.
