Wildlife at Ardentinny and Glenfinnart Argyll Forest Park
Argyll and Bute
Scotland
Dunoon is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: NS191886
 With a growing sense of wilderness, the road winds below wooded slopes to Ardentinny, a neat village round a south-facing bay. Two Forest Walks are available, one of which has been designated "Easy Access" Across the Glen Finart river the Forestry Commission has provided a car park by the splendid sandy beach, facing south-east down Loch Long - a good spot for watching waders at low tide. Follow the rollicking single-track road up Glenfinnart. This is an attractive little valley, pastoral in its open lower strath and rugged in its upper reaches. The pass at the top offers superb views down Loch Eck and the surrounding hills;the road drops steeply down to Whistlefield to join the main A815 road by Loch Eck.
Mammals: Come along and see. We have information about Red deer and Roe deer
Insects and reptiles: Come along and see.
How to get there:
There are two equally appealing approaches to the Forest Park from Glasgow. By car ferry from Gourock to Dunoon, follow the A815 onto the A880 to Ardentinny. By the A82 along the western shore of Loch Lomond through Tarbet, entering the Park at Arrochar, onto the A815 then the A880.
