Holiday Information

Navigation

The Trossachs Trail is generally clearly defined on the ground but waymarking is sparse so you will need to be comfortable reading a map and know how to use a compass.

Grade

The way is on well maintained footpaths, bridleways, across fields and on some minor roads. It does involve some steep ascent and descent, but in general the walking is fairly easy.

Accommodation

One of the highlights of this tour is the high standard of the accommodation. You will stay in carefully selected 3 or 4 star B&B’s, guesthouses, country pubs and small hotels. Your room will always have an ensuite or private bathroom. A delicious breakfast is always included.

Single Rooms

If you require single rooms within your party we will always try and accommodate you subject to availability. A single supplement is payable.

Solo Walkers

This walking holiday is available to solo walkers but as we incur additional baggage transfer costs their is a solo walker supplement payable.

Meals

A hearty breakfast is included each morning. Lunch and dinner are not included. Most of your accommodation will be more than happy to provide a packed lunch on request. Dinner is available either at your accommodation or at nearby pubs or restaurants.

Baggage Transfer

Daily door to door baggage transfer is included in the cost of your holiday. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 15kg per person.

Equipment

Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes and a day pack.

Dogs

Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers do not accept pets.

Recommended Reading

We supply detailed route notes and map but you may find room for a few titles in your pack. I suggest you take the great romantic Scottish novels, Rob Roy and Lady of the Lake, both by Sir Walter Scott.
