Rest and Be Thankful Carpark

Running up Glen Croe, the road crosses and re-crosses the river in the crag-confined floor of the glen before climbing steadily up the valley flank to its head on the pass of the Rest and Be Thankful, at 246m (800ft).

The rest stop offers excellent views of the surrounding countyside.

The 'Rest', as it is often called, is a vital communications link for much of mid and south Argyll - it takes the traveller through to the old county town of Inveraray.
