Activities
Walking Routes
For the independent explorer, there are a variety of walks around Knockderry Lodge suitable for all abilities. In the immediate vicinity, there are simple coastal walks along the shore with fabulous views over the Clyde estuary, a woodland walk up to a stunning viewpoint or an idyllic wander through the wonderfully restored Edwardian Linn Gardens.
At the head of Loch Long stands the distinctive shape of The Cobbler – Ben Arthur – one of Scotland’s most familiar landmarks and a must for walkers and climbers. Further afield, east of Loch Lomond, you will come across the famous West Highland Way long distance footpath. You can choose to undertake just one part of the route where you will be well rewarded for exploring the area and walks around the Way itself.
The area forms the Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve, comprising beautiful woodland shorelines, hills, mountains and wetlands. Among the most spectacular walk in this part is the strenuous walk up Conic Hill which enjoys splendid views towards the Arrochar Alps.
The most famous walk and the most climbed mountain in Scotland is Ben Lomond. It is easily accessible and has a well-maintained path which starts at Rowardennan on Loch Lomond’s east side leading to summit views taking in the surrounding mountains, the Glasgow area and the Clyde estuary.

Peaton Hill Forest Walk
Peaton Hill behind us leads to a magnificent viewing point of the Clyde coast and Loch Long. It’s a bit of a climb but not anything too strenuous. It’s a real favourite amongst all the local dog owners so do expect to meet lots of doggie friends on your walk. The walk is over a forestry commission track. The trees were cut down a couple of years back which now means there is an uninterrupted view of Loch Long and the Clyde estuary. To access the hill, park in the Peaton Hill Community Nature Reserve Car Park and walk over the road to the entrance to the Forestry Commission track. There is only one path leading up to the viewing point so you cannot get lost and there are some picnic tables at the top for you to sit and enjoy the view. It is a quiet area away from cars so you can be confident there will be no traffic or sheep.
Coastal Shore Walk
If you just fancy a stroll along the shore then you can access the loch side from the Shore Road, down in the village. On low tide (yes, we are a sea loch!), you can virtually make your way all the way into the village via the shore line. There is a picnic area about half-way along which will make it easier to access the shore if you want to come back up on to the roadside.
Hill Reservoir Walk
It’s a chance to enjoy some wonderful scenery and possibly some wildlife too – but you will need some sturdy boots as it can be damp underfoot. You will also need to keep your dog on a lead as there can be sheep on the hills, particularly during lambing season. Park up off the main road to Loch Lomond on the A817, and make your way up the tarmac track to the reservoir at the top. You can make your way around the reservoir and extend the walk considerably if you wish.

The West Highland Way
The West Highland Way is the first of Scotland’s long distance routes and remains extremely popular. It starts in Milngavie on the edge of Glasgow and stretches to Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis, the nearest part to us runs along the eastern shore of Loch Lomond. The route offers a fabulous introduction to the Scottish Highlands, glens and lochs
West Highland Way: Drymen to Rowardennan
You can park in Drymen and make direct access onto the West Highland way. The path climbs through a section of forestry beside Loch Lomond before crossing moorland to reach Conic Hill. The view from the summit is quite breathtaking overlooking Loch Lomond and its islands. After the village of Balmaha, the route stays close to Loch Lomond on an undulating but very scenic stretch that leads on to Rowardennan. Please note that dogs are not allowed in the two enclosed fields on the approach to Conic Hill during the lambing season, which is normaly in April and May.
