About Woodland Walk

A walk through a wide variety of conifer and broadleaf trees with two viewpoints to admire the breathtaking scenery of Loch Leven, the Ballachulish Bridge and the surrounding mountains.

Trail closures:
Parts of the woodland walk will be closed or diverted between 16 January 2012 - 17 March 2012, as a result of upgrade works nearby.

Please expect to find closures and diversions, or try an another alternative in the area:

Brecklet Forest - Ballachulish, Signal Rock - Clachaig, NTS trails - Glencoe

How to get there:

Woodland Walk can be started from Glencoe Lochan car park in Glencoe Lochan which is part of Glencoe. Glencoe is the nearest town or village.

Cross the River Coe from Glencoe Village and turn left after 100 metres (signposted for Glencoe Lochan and the hospital) at an old gatehouse.

Bear right at the fork to take you to the car park and access to walks and fishing on the lochan.
