Loch Ard
Description
Enjoy a walk or cycle along the beautiful Loch Ard, near
Aberfoyle
in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
This circular route starts in the car park at the eastern end of the loch and takes you along the loch and through the surrounding woodland on good paths. On the way there are lovely view points with picnic benches where you can sit and admire the view over Loch Ard to the forests and surrounding hills.
