Tarbet Isle Loop


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

About Tarbet Isle Loop

The walk consists of a high road and a low road in a loop up to Blairannich and back again, finishing just south of Tarbet Isle.

The path climbs up through mature Scots Pine to the military road and continues through mixed conifer and broadleaves to join the ‘low road’, in what is now predominately an oak wood.

As the walk heads south, the woodland changes back to more mixed woodland. It finishes with beautiful views down Loch Lomond.

How to get there:

Tarbet Isle Loop can be started from Tarbet Isle Loop in Tarbet which is part of Argyll Forest Park. Arrochar is the nearest town or village.

From Glasgow, follow the A82 along the western shore of Loch Lomond to Tarbet.

From the north, follow the A82 from Crianlarach to Tarbet.
