Waterside walks

LOCH KATRINE

A glorious 13-mile walk from the pier at Stronachlachar where the steamship stops, taking in woodland and waterfalls.

LOCH LOMOND

Enjoy a short stroll starting at the hotel at Inversnaid and taking in a small section of the West Highland Way.

LOCH NESS

The 28-mile South Loch Ness Trail goes from Torbreck at Inverness to Loch Tarf just outside Fort Augustus.

LOCH LEVEN

The Heritage Trail runs from the pier at Kinross along the north and east shores of the loch to RSPB Vane Farm.

LOCH ARD

The hearty walk to Ben Lomond Viewpoint gives a bird’s eye view of the much-loved peak. Check for tree-felling closures.

LAKE WINDERMERE

Get away from the hustle and bustle with a walk to the viewing station at Claife Heights on the western shore.

KIELDER WATER

The Lakeside Way encircles the 27 miles of Northumberland’s massive artificial reservoir. Great access to the most scenic areas.

BUTTERMERE

The walks around Buttermere in Cumbria can be easy but the three-mile Rannerdale route is slightly more challenging.

CONISTON

The short walk from the car park at Tom Gill offers one of the most memorable views in the Lake District.

THREE LOCHS WAY

Loch Lomond, the Gareloch and Loch Long recur as backdrops along the 34-mile trail.
