About Larch Loop
Please note this trail is currently closed to allow clearance of windblown trees.
Climbing from the car park, the path takes you through a stand of mature larch trees. The route then returns to the car park through a mixed and fairly open conifer plantation. The path is probably at its best in spring when the bluebells can be magnificent.
The path is generally well compacted but there may be some loose surface material in places.
How to get there:
Larch Loop can be started from Braeval in Achray Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Aberfoyle is the nearest town or village.
From Stirling, follow the A81 - the car park is half a mile from the Rob Roy roundabout.
From Glasgow, follow the A81 signed for Aberfoyle, at the Rob Roy roundabout take a right for Callander. The car park is situated half a mile along the road on your left side.
