Knapdale Forest

Knapdale Forest is situated in a National Scenic Area and is flanked to the north by the Crinan Canal and to the west by the Sound of Jura and Loch Sween. The name is derived from the Gaelic description of its striking topographical features; Cnap (hill) and Dall (field).

The walks, picnic sites and cycle routes within Knapdale are situated close together and are designed to allow access to a variety of habitats and to provide interest and enjoyment to all those who use them.

Barnluasgan Interpretation Centre provides the ideal starting point to a visit to Knapdale. The centre has information on all the trails in the forest, 'What's on' events, archaeology, history and wildlife of Knapdale.

Ardnoe cycle route is currently closed due to harvesting.
