Conifer Walk


(Average user rating5 unrated 5/5)

About Conifer Walk

Follow signage to Kilmun Aboretum for the Conifer Walk.

A fascinating range of exotic tree species has been laid out in trial plots.

The Conifer Walk is one of three walks departing from this point.

See also our pages on forests around Dunoon.

How to get there:

Conifer Walk can be started from Kilmun car park in Kilmun Aboretum 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 Loch Lomond through Tarbet, entering the Park at Arrochar. You then follow signs for Kilmun.
