A walk around Loch Venachar in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. The walk is around 13 miles long, and starts and ends at Callander, initially following the southern side of the loch towards Brig o'Turk, then the northern side of the loch below Ben Ledi. From Brig o'Turk back to Callander the walk follows a section of the Great Trossachs Path, a long-distance path of around 30 miles that runs between Inversnaid on the banks of Loch Lomond and Callander. This particular section of the Great Trossachs Path offers good views down onto Loch Venachar, and is a good workout as it follows the undulating contours of the hillside under Ben Ledi.
Views of Ben Ledi from the southern side of Loch Venachar are awesome, as is the view towards Brig o'Turk with the magnificent little mountain of Ben A'an in the background.
After what is a pretty long tiring hike, we end with a pint in the Lade Inn in Kilmahog, just outside Callander. This is quite simply an awesome walk and a great adventure.
