Ledard Farm to Loch Achray
This route follows old hill paths to link Ledard Farm on Loch Àrd to Loch Achray in the heart of the Trossachs. It crosses the high, rocky slopes of Ben Venue and offers excellent views.
Terrain
Path up the Ledard Glen is very muddy in places with a section of broken boardwalk requiring care. Boggy in the uppper glen. The going is then rocky and rough until good forest paths are reached which link to Loch Achray. It should be regarded as a hillwalk and full mountain clothing and equipment should be carried.
Public Transport
None to start.
Start
Ledard Farm, Loch Àrd.
