unrated)About Craigievern
Please note this trail is currently closed due to fallen trees and harvesting. (Updated 28th May 2012)
Although this trail is not waymarked, for the most part the Craigievern trail follows forest roads and the route initially takes you through an area of conifer forest. It is ideally suited to horses. Along the way there are several areas where the trees have been removed and there are good views of the Lomond Hills, The Campsie Fells and the Kilpatrick Hills.
From the junction before the loop at the end of the trail, the path is quite grassy, overgrown and uneven in places. One leg of the loop is not on a constructed path and, depending on weather conditions, could be wet underfoot.
How to get there:
Craigievern 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.
