Cowal Way

The Cowal Way is a magnificent 57 mile trail, starting in Portavadie on Loch Fyne and finishing in Inveruglas on the banks of Loch Lomond. The walk follows quiet roads, lochside paths and woodland trails through this tranquil and undiscovered area of Scotland. History and beauty prevail as you encounter ancient standing stones, burial cairns and rock carvings dating back to the Stone and bronze ages.

Your journey starts in Tarbert, Loch Fyne where you will spend your first night in the pretty fishing village. The following morning you catch the ferry to Portavadie where your walking adventure begins, heading up into Tighnabruaich you will be graced with great views behind over Loch Fyne. From here you follow quiet roads along the Kyle of Bute to Glendaruel and then north to Strachur. Lochgoilhead is your next overnight stop after the great views descending past Sruth Ban Falls and then on to Arrochar at the head of Loch long for your final nights stay. You can either end you walk here or the following morning walk on to Inveruglas which is the official end of the walk, climbing the Cobbler is a great end to a spectacular walk but make sure an add on an extra day for the climb.
