Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
Scotland's first national park, an hour from Glasgow: the loch, the Arrochar Alps, the Trossachs and twenty-one Munros.
The park begins where the Highlands do. The Highland Boundary Fault crosses Loch Lomond at its narrows, and north of it the lowland fields give way to Ben Lomond, the Arrochar Alps and the long glens of Breadalbane. Few places in Britain put serious hills this close to a big city.
The Trossachs, east of the loch, are gentler: small wooded hills, lochs and the kind of walking that suits a half day. Balloch, Callander, Aberfoyle and Arrochar are the bases, and the West Highland Way runs the length of the park.
