About the local area

The area is steeped in history and folklore and there are the remains of crannog's on the loch – a short drive to Kenmore will let you see a fully restored crannog at the Scottish Crannog Centre. There are great walks, Munros to climb or enjoy touring around and finding beautiful less explored roads. Driving north will take you to Glencoe (35 miles) and Fort William (70 miles). For golfing enthusiasts there are numerous golf courses in the area.  There are great cycle routes in the forests or on the Sustrans National Cycle Route which runs through Lochearnhead on the disused Callander to Oban railway line. Take a cycle to Rob Roy's grave located in the churchyard at Balquhidder or through Glen Ogle to Killin to see and hear the roaring water at the Falls of Dochart.    A lovely drive to Crieff (to the east) or Callander (to the south) will provide you with a variety of shops and leisure facilities.  The Famous Grouse Experience at the Glenturret Distillery is located just outside Crieff and Blair Drummond Safari Park is south of Callander. Various annually organized events occur in the surrounding area including a sheep shearing competition, highland games, hill running events, loch swimming challenges and model seaplane conventions to name but a few.
