  • Such a stunning area. Loads to do and see. Various Lochs. Raiders Road is also a great visit, be sure to stop at Otter pool along the way. One of our favorite area in lower west Scotland. Lots of Red Kites and we even found an Adder relaxing on a footpath.
  • An amazing walk around Loch Trool. This dog friendly Park is a beautiful escape from everything. Open 24 hours, so it is perfect for star gazing since there is no light pollution. There are 3 visitor centres. I went to Glentrool cafe, which is wheelchair friendly, with a great selection of cakes and tray bakes (gluten free too), as well as hot panini and sandwiches (that you can buy when the kitchen is open, from 12 - 4). However the roads to get there are quite windy and narrow. It is £4 for parking for the whole day. There are 4 routes to pick from, from a 6 miles loop around the Loch to 1 mile path perfect for cycling, so there’s something for everyone.
