Dog friendly
7 min from the farm
RSPB Loch Lomond
Flat, dog-friendly trails with herons and swans, free parking and somewhere to sit. RSPB Loch Lomond is seven minutes from the farm.
This is the flat alternative to the hills: an easy wander with the dog, binoculars if you have them, and no summit to reach. Herons and swans are the regulars, and there's somewhere to sit when you've seen enough.
It's one of the reasons we're comfortable calling ourselves dog friendly: between this, the farm walks from the door and the villages nearby, the dog gets as good a weekend as you do. Up to two dogs stay free in either pod.
