We were blessed with gorgeous sunny weather, but I think I would like this spot in any weather, it is so picturesque. The walkway is wide, and gentle, the entire trip around the loch took us just over an hour, at a good pace. My two boys, 6 & 8 managed it without difficulty or complaint. The castle ruin on... More

We had previously went to it by car (payment required at carpark) and walked all the way around it with the dog. This year we walked from the Hilton Hotel Coylumbridge (where we stayed) to the Loch and back on a circular route. Their are toilet facities and a litle shop with drinks etc.

We lucky to have gorgeous weather and added the extra trail round Loch Gamhna. Flat most of the way and good paths , though Loch Gamhna part not maintained. Charge for parking but includes information & maps Recommend. May need midge spray later in year but we had no bites.

We had a lovely walk around the loch. Beautiful views over the loch to the ruined castle was worth a visit. Nice little gift shop is worth a look.

The walk round Loch an Eilein is fantastic at any time of the year. Worth the effort, its a bit more than a gentle stroll but the path is good and teh views stunning.

My family and I have walked around Loch An Ellein twice on a recent visit to Scotland. It was cloudy the first time and sunny the second time we took to the pathway. It is the kind of place that would be great in any weather, the walk around the Loch is easy going and the dogs loved it also,... More

Beautiful scenery, and well maintained estate. It costs 3 pounds to park in the car park but that is for a few days pass, and it is worth the money to maintain the lovely area. There is a really nice 3 mile walk which is low level terrain, so fine for amateurs. I think its best to go early in... More

This is a lovely place to visit. The walk round the Loch has pines one side and mixed forest the other so the habitat and birdlife change. It has a few inclines but nothing major. There are toilets and a small shop at the start of the walk and some well placed picnic tables. The car park fee also gives... More

What a beautiful, almost magical, hike around the loch and through the woods. So quiet and tranquil when we were there - perhaps the rain helped in that way. The castle ruins in the middle of the loch give it a lonesome feeling, especially on a misty day. But the sun emerged at times, as it does in Scotland, and... More
