Description:

A 6‑stage, 90 km route of moderate difficulty, the Loch Lomond & Cowal Way is often described as Scotland’s most diverse long‑distance footpath. It runs the full length of the Cowal Peninsula, weaving through some of the most beautiful and varied landscapes in the Highlands.

The terrain is mixed and occasionally steep, and while the waymarking is generally good, there are sections where confident map‑reading skills are useful. The route follows a blend of established footpaths, forestry tracks, open hillsides, quiet minor roads, and traditional rights of way.

Along the way, walkers are treated to an ever‑changing backdrop of shorelines, ancient forests, rolling hills, and tranquil lochs. This constant variety—both in scenery and underfoot—makes the Loch Lomond & Cowal Way a richly rewarding journey across one of Scotland’s lesser‑known peninsulas.
