HILLWALKING the
FALLOCH HILLS
For those of you looking
for some excitment on the west coast of Scotland then why not try the
Falloch Hills located on the west side of Loch Lomond minutes from
Inveranan and Glen Douglas and great for
Good for Fishing, Cycling, Sightseeing, Hillwalking, Climbing, Touring in the Scottish Countryside.
The Falloch Hills - Loch Lomondside
At
the start of April 2008 I was wanting a Scottish Walk but
one that was not too strenuous and while researching I
remember the Falloch Hills. This walk was ideal as it
is beside Loch Lomond, has breathtaking scenery, a small
waterfall and is ideal for a couple of hours relaxing walk.
This walk being on the doorstep of Glasgow, "the waterfall walk" as
I shall call it, is just off the A82 near Inverarnan
at the west side of Loch Lomond half way up and not too far
from Glen Douglas and Ardlui.

On this walk starting from the famous Drovers
inn, walk up northwards to the entrance to the Ben Glas
Campsite, turning right into the campsite itself,
which may not be a bad base for walking the area, and visit
the waterfall which is also visible from the roadside (A82). To get there just pick up the path behind the campsite and Bob,s your uncle. the path meets up with the West Highland
Way path pretty much at its start, so you can, if you have time, walk north or south on the Glen Falloch valley.
The path up to the waterfall, which is about 200 metres above
the ground level,
is rather steep and narrow in places with a few rocks. It
also runs alongside
the falls themselves..so be careful.
There are a few mountains / hills in the surrounding area you
may wish to try,
namely, Ben Glas, Beinn Chabhair ( a Munro ) and Stob Glas.
You can find
these on O.S. map Landranger 56. |
