Explore
There are many beautiful forest walks in the area, including The Oakwood Trail, The Avich Falls Trail and Duncan’s Walk, all of which meander through ancient oak and pine forests. Pine marten, fox, wild cats red deer, roe deer, otter and red squirrels can often be seen. There are also regular sightings of eagles and ospreys. Apart from the signed trails, there is up to 100 miles of forest tracks and roads in the area, suitable for the serious walker or mountain biker.

Loch Awe itself is beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and as of now, still under-developed with no noisy water sports to shatter the peace. It has many islands worth visiting, including Innis Chonnel Castle, the first stronghold of the Campbells. The remains of Crannogs; pre historic island hut settlements, can still be seen when the loch is low, at different points along the lochside. The fishing is legendary with monster trout up to 30lb (~14Kg), salmon, sea trout, pike, perch, char etc, depending on the season.

A wonderful base to explore the boundless historical and scenic attractions that are on offer in this beautiful region. Explore further afield to Inveraray and historic Kilmartin Glen, it's also an easy day trip to Oban, one of the seafood capitals of Scotland.
