Parks & Nature
This is a famous loch only a few miles from the Manse. The West Highland Way wends it's way along the eastern banks from Balmaha north. The views of the loch and surrounding mountains are stunning.
On the loch there is the opportunity to hire kayaks, paddle boards, fishing boats or take the ferry across the loch from Balmaha to Luss to look at this pretty village on the west side of the loch.
The sunset from Rowardennan or Balmaha is wonderful.
