About 3 Lochs Forest Drive
The 3 Lochs Forest Drive will be closed for the winter period from the 29th October 2011. It is open during the season April - October, 10am - 5pm. Out of season it is still accessible by foot or cycle.
Opened in 1977 to mark the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the trail consists of seven and a half miles of winding forest road. Enter from the Duke's Pass road to enjoy superb views across the forest towards the Trossachs.
A lot of work has recently been carried out to the forest environment around the Duke's Pass and Achray Forest Drive. Some fantastic views have been opened up looking over Loch Achray and the Trossachs. Experience the sound scupture trail at Pine Ridge.
How to get there:
3 Lochs Forest Drive can be started from Duke's Pass in Achray Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Aberfoyle is the nearest town or village.
Follow the A821 north from Aberfoyle, or west from Callander.
