Description
Leave Arrochar near the telephone box and follow a path which climbs steeply uphill; the gradient soon relents and the path undulates for 1 mile to reach a path junction. Here, a short detour to the right leads to the Arrochar/Tarbet Railway Station. The main route continues straight on to reach another path junction - keep straight and climb steeply uphill.
The path turns right and traverses along the hillside, passing a viewpoint to reach a footbridge across a burn. Turn right here and follow the path steeply downhill to re-cross the burn after 400 yards. Continue along the path to rejoin the outward route near to the station. Retrace your steps to return to Arrochar.
Access Info
