Tarbet

Following recent weather conditions, we would advise anyone visiting the forest to exercise extra caution as there are likely to be blown trees and storm damage which we have not had the opportunity to make safe.  We are currently working to inspect all our facilities and forest blocks, if you do come across anything of concern please do report it to us on 01369 860 703.

Arrochar, historically the heart of the country of the Clan MacFarlane, nestles along the eastern shore of the head of Loch Long, where glaciers have cut a great gap through the hills from Loch Lomond. Its twin settlement on Loch Lomond is Tarbet, the name meaning a portage, or literally ‘drag-boat’.

The woodland consists of Scots pine, mixed conifer and broadleaves, the low area is now predominately an oak wood.

The Tarbet Isle Loop walk runs parallel to one of Caulfield's military roads, which runs from Tarbet to Crianlarich. The road is visible adjacent to the western loop of the walk, behind the drystane dyke.
