Waterfalls Walk
At the point where the Broadleaves Walk turns back, continue uphill along the forest road, beside young evergreens. On reaching the Allt Robuic burn, turn left to descend the steps to join another forest road. At this point turn left and follow the blue waymarkers back to the carpark, past some magnificent Sitka Spruce planted in 1926 known as Ritual Grove. Here, the size of the mature conifers is particularly impressive.
How to get there:
Waterfalls Walk can be started from LAUDER CAR PARK 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 3 miles south of Strachur.
