Balloch Castle Country Park is steeped in history and was the stronghold of one of Scotland's most powerful medieval families. Overall there are 7km of trails which are suitable for all abilities featuring woodlands, parklands, and walled gardens. The circular Southern Route, featured here, is approximately 3km in distance with plenty of rest points and with stunning views of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond. For the most part the trail follows flat, well surfaced paths, although there is a steep climb up to the Castle from the Shore. Some visitors may therefore wish to access the parking areas from the North Lodge entrance
