Ballinjour Wood


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

About Ballinjour Wood

During this forest walk, you can enjoy the tranquillity and variety of the woodland environment. Many animals live in this forest, and if you are lucky you could see a roe deer or a red squirrel. You may also see or hear siskin, long tailed tit, willow warbler or woodpecker.

Views out of the forest are limited but there are some open areas where you get partial views of Loch Lomond, the Lomond Hills, the Kilpatrick Hills and the Campsie Fells.

The path is generally firm though there may be loose surface material in places.

How to get there:

Ballinjour Wood can be started from Garadhban car park in Loch Ard Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Drymen is the nearest town or village.

From Drymen, take the Old Drymen road out of the village to the north.

From Aberfoyle, take the road through Gartmore village - following the signs for Drymen.
