Achray forest and Aberfoyle Landranger 57
Route in brief 26km 500m climb and descent
some nice single track
The route starts from the forestry parking area 2km east of Aberfoyle at GR542006 and goes
north east on the south east side of the Menteith Hills, first on forest track (where there is a
discouraging no cycles sign which will need to be ignored), and then on a single track to the
unnamed loch at GR0405 72.
At the loch the forest road is joined but you need to turn off after 150m into the forest. From here
the track descends pleasantly to near West Dullater on the south side of Loch Venachar
Go west beside the loch and turn off beside the gate of some houses, after about 2km, onto the
Sustrans track beside the loch.
This track is very pleasant indeed. Follow the track and forest road out to Brig o’ Turk. I
recommend eating at the green hut tea room which is immediately after the turn up to Glen Finglas
off the A821.
The return route is the reverse forest drive past loch Drunkie and then Lochan Reoidhte.
