The Cowal Peninsula by Ardentinny is where the Scottish Highlands meet the Firth of Clyde, presenting a breathtaking vista of lochs, glens, sea, mountains and forests. Those who enjoy walking will find a great variety of walking routes and hiking trails in the area.

The number of trails is overwhelming - for example, you might prefer an easy ramble along the Cowal Way, or perhaps the entire 47 miles of it! Or maybe some vigorous hill walking in the Arrochar Alps is more appealing. You might also be interested in Cowalfest, an event dedicated to walking and arts in the area.

About Argyll Walking Holidays offers guided and self-guided walking holidays and hiking tours in Cowal and the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
