Three Lochs Way

The Three Lochs Way is a 34.5 mile long distance route inking coastal communities fringing Scotland’s first national park.

It is one of Scotland’s Great Trails and with Loch Lomond, The Gareloch and Loch Long as recurrent scenic backdrops, the Three Lochs Way takes you on a fascinating journey through place and time as it links a necklace of communities strung along the Clyde Sea Lochs.

Rarely rising above 250 metres, the route’s 55 kilometres (34 miles) can easily be walked in 3 to 4 days and with the West Highland railway line never far away, it also offers plenty of options for shorter day walks. Although developed and promoted primarily with walkers in mind, much of the route follows broad tracks and paths which are also accessible on a bike or horse.

The trail passes the head of the Pier, sharing some of its route with the John Muir Way.
