WALKING AND CYCLING IN THE TROSSACHS
START – follow the B827 from the centre of Comrie up to the minor road going past the Cultybraggan camp. The Glen Artney church (free) car park is located at the end of that minor road (lovely cycle route).
The Glen Artney Church car park is great! So useful for cyclists and walkers alike.
START – For drivers, the 7 mile long Three Lochs Drive starts on the east side of The Duke’s Pass/A821, about 2 miles north of Aberfoyle (one way trafic, closed in winter months). Cyclists can cycle the other way round. This ride starts from the Invertrossachs free car park (3 miles from Callander).
The Three Lochs Forest Drive takes you past three picturesque lochs – Lochan Reòidhte, Loch Drunkie and Loch Achray.
Very well signposted, lovely spots for lunch…
GORGEOUS!!!!
START – In Callander, look for the sign to Glasgow (A81). Go over the bridge and take the first road on the right to Invertrossachs.
Return via the Glen Finglas Visitor Centre is possible (hard climb to start).
Very pleasant ride.
START – at the Kenknock car park, 7 miles from Killin.
STUNNING RIDE!
START – before the Bridge of Lochay Hotel, in Killin. Follow signpost to Moirlanich Longhouse.
CYCLE RIDE for all levels, very pleasant. After the car park, you can either carry on towards the end of the Glen (see part 2) or take a right turn towards Glen Lyon (quite a climb on a road full of potholes).
START – at South Loch Earn Road, on the A84 (exiting Lochearnhead towards Strathyre).
RELAXING loop, especially during the lockdown. Very popular with cyclists.
START – on the A84 exiting Lochearnhead towards Balquhidder and Strathyre. Signpost on left of the road.
Great cycle path, great way of avoiding the main road.
To carry on to Strathyre and Callander, see the post Kingshouse-Strathyre-Callander.
START – The Ross bridge, on the way out of Comrie towards St Fillans (A85).
EASY cycle path, 6 miles of mostly flat surface, very well signposted. The A85 is on the right for the most part, then on your left after going under the bridge.
START – at Mhor 84, heads towards Balquhidder village, the cycle path (route 7) is on your left just after crossing under the A84.
LOVELY and very well signposted bike ride. Highly recommended!
START – On the way from Lochearnhead to St Fillans, look out for sign on the left of the road, a mile and a half before St Fillans. Lay-by to park just before the sign.
LOVELY WALK, not too strenuous, well signposted except at the end when you have two tracks (we went on the left). Ended up behind a row of houses, a mile from St Fillans village shop.
