Black Gates/Big Trees Walk

 

The Black Gates Walk, also accessible from the Pucks Glen Carpark by walking along the forest road first, serves as an introduction to a variety of mature conifer species dating back to 1870. The path climbs up to a forest road linking this route with the award winning Pucks Glen.

How to get there:

Black Gates/Big Trees Walk can be started from PUCKS GLEN CAR PARK in Benmore which is part of Argyll Forest Park. Dunoon is the nearest town or village.

There are two equally appealing approaches to the Argyll Forest Park from Glasgow. By car ferry from Gourock to Dunoon entering the southern end of the Park near Pucks Glen, or by the A82 along the western shore of Loch Lomond through Tarbet, entering the northern end at Arrochar. Follow the A82/A83/A815 to Dunoon.

For public transport information follow the Traveline Scotland link under the Useful sites section opposite.
