The Whangie can be accessed by a short 5km round trip hike from the queen's view car park. Can be pretty boggy in places, but worth it for the cool rock formations and the views down to Loch Lomond.

A good pair of trekking shoes or wellies recommended.

The Whangie is an amazing natural rock formation with far ranging views towards both Loch Lomond and Glasgow. You can walk right through the rock chasm and explore all the cool rock formation up close, meaning its a great place to explore for kids, or a sort walk with lots of interest for adults
