Recreation at Corlarach
Rising high above the Firth of Clyde to the east and Loch Striven on the west, Corlarach Forest offers glorious views, rich in wildlife and a chance for a good stretch if you feel like it. The Firth of Clyde and the long standing sea lochs were centres of activity during the Two World Wars. In 1943 an anti submarine boom stretched from West Bay in Dunoon to the Cloch Lighthouse.
