What a charming little walk! Contrary to the more popular route across the river, this short wander was an absolute joy to find. Admittedly, I think the time of day/year played into this - the Go Ape course is directly overhead of most paths and in the peak of summer I imagine the peace is somewhat more broken. The paths themselves are well made, looping around and offering a good mix of forest and views over the Loch.

The walk itself might be short, but on a day like today I could've spent hours sitting at the edge of the water! I can't imagine how beautiful the views must be when the clouds are a little higher. If you're in the area and have a spare 20 minutes, I can't recommend it enough!
