ローモンド湖の天然記念物・トップ12

Rode this on the mtb on 21/3/25 and is worth climbing over the fallen trees at the bottom, there's no blockage on the rest of the path

Take the train to Tarbet Station, and the boat from Tarbet Pier to Inversnaid for a great adventure without the car

Amazing waterfalls and hotel complex has a warm separate rucksack and boot room. Plenty of power sockets for recharging your equipment too.

At 974 meters high, it offers breathtaking views over Loch Lomond and the Scottish Highlands from its summit, which serves as a reward for the climb. The walk begins in Rowardennan, an idyllic spot on the east bank of Loch Lomond. From here there are two main routes to the summit: the more direct and popular route, suitable for beginners and experienced hikers alike, and the slightly more demanding Ptarmigan Ridge, recommended for those seeking a greater challenge. Both trails offer unique perspectives of the mountain and its surroundings, and the ability to combine both for a circular hike makes the experience even more worthwhile. Despite its popularity - over 30,000 people attempt the climb each year - Ben Lomond retains a wild beauty so treasured by the Scottish mountains. The views from the summit are scenically breathtaking, with a panorama taking in the loch islands and the vast Highlands. On a clear day the view can sweep far over the surrounding countryside, and the contrast between the calm waters of the loch and the rugged peaks of the Highlands is a sight unlike any other. While the walk is popular, it is important to note the local regulations of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and prepare accordingly. Good footwear, sufficient water and provisions as well as protective clothing against changeable weather are essential. Respect for nature and the responsibility to leave no trace help ensure that Ben Lomond remains an unforgettable hiking destination for future generations.

Ben Lomond is a superb mountain offering excellent views across Loch Lomond and the rugged mountains beyond, as well as southwards towards the lowlands. The paths are substantial and well maintained, making for fast walking, but don't expect to be alone here - its justifiably very popular. The circuit up the Ptarmigan ridge and down the main path is recommended

Now (2023) very elaborately paved with natural stones. Not very conducive to weak knees after a long day of hiking. Looks great, it was definitely a lot of work, but natural ground is simply more pleasant.

Clear path up to summit 👌

Inversnaid essentially consists of a hotel where hikers can also stop off.
