About Glen Nant Car Park

A small informal car park and start of the Ant Trail, an interpretative trail through this peaceful example of an Atlantic oakwood and a short Riverbank Trail which leads to a riverside picnic bench.

How to get there:

Glen Nant Car Park is in Glen Nant National Nature Reserve which is part of Fearnoch.
Three miles south of Taynuilt on the B845, look out for the Glen Nant National Nature Reserve signs.
Coming from Taynuilt, turn right into the entrance then over a small bailey bridge to reach the car park and access walks through this wonderful example of Scotland's Atlantic oak woods.
Taynuilt (3 miles) and Oban (16 miles) is the nearest town or village.

My Husband (who has limited walking) and I visited Glen Nant last week whilst staying nearby. I felt I must congratulate you on the inevitable work and planning which probably included a deal of negotiation with funding and delivery partners. You have managed to conserve the delightful setting and wildlife habitat and the interpretation boards and waymarks were excellent. Well done and thank you! Now all we need is a forest track route for my husband's tramper. Perhaps there is a return route using the existing track? This would be the icing on the cake! Ever hopeful, Pat
