    Ben Lomond is a great place to experience the draw of highland scenery only a short drive/journey from central Scotland. Walking routes range from the paths up the mountain, through forest walks on adjacent Forestry Commission Scotland land, to the low level Ardess Hidden History Trail or loch side walk following the west highland way. April and May are a good time of year to experience the oak woodlands at their best, with great shows of bluebells and plenty of birdlife.

    The Ardess Hidden History Trail has a self-guiding leaflet which can be picked up at the dispenser outside the ranger base. We ask for a small donation per leaflet to help cover printing costs. There is also a quiz leaflet for youngsters with carvings around the trail for them to find.

    Consider coming on one of our ranger guided walks. There is no better way to get to know Ben Lomond than on a walk with someone who has worked in the place for several years!
