Balloch in the south of Loch Lomond, is (compared to the villages) a much busier place and offers many leisure activities, and is the HQ of The National Park. On a summer’s day it can become quite crowded because many people from Glasgow and Dumbarton enjoy spending some time in this small town. Balloch offers many activities such as water sports, loch cruises, golf, shopping, and sightseeing. The small town is the main gateway to the National Park as it has good public transport access from Glasgow and a regular bus service along the west shores of Loch Lomond up to the village of Tyndrum and even further to Fort William.
Besides using the car or public transport, there are other possibilities to get access to some villages around Loch Lomond: The West Highland Way. This long distance footpath is 96 miles (151km) long and runs from Milngavie in the North of Glasgow to Fort William. The route passes beautiful sceneries including lochs, glens, woodlands, moors and historical villages. Each year more than 70,000 walkers walk this route.
The Rob Roy Way is another long distance walk and passes the Southern Highlands along beautiful countryside and historical villages. It starts from the village of Drymen and passes Aberfoyle, Callander, Strathyre, Killin and some other villages until it reaches Pitlochry after 92 miles (148 km).
Another possibility to reach and explore the villages is by bicycle. The National Cycle Route 7 runs from Glasgow through Balloch, Drymen, Aberfoyle, Callander, Balquhidder, Killin and then onto Pitlochry.
