Category: Three Lochs Way

The Three Lochs Way is a 34 mile long distance route between Balloch and Inveruglas, with Loch Lomond, The Gareloch and Loch Long as recurrent scenic backdrops. Here you will find my review of walking the route over 2 days.

The official Three Lochs Way website recommends walking the route in 4 sections, however the route described here is split into 2 longer sections starting in Inveruglas and ending at Balloch:
Day 1: Inveruglas to Garelochhead
Day 2: Garelochhead to Balloch

Starting in the village of Garelochhead and ending at Balloch Tourist Information Office, this part of The Three Lochs Way is much flatter than the first half and definitely the easier of the two days. You will walk along minor roads, clay footpaths, through forests and woodlands and on an open hillside. You will also pass through the pretty town of Helensburgh. Despite the walk’s name, you leave the lochs behind for much of the way, meeting back up with Loch Lomond in the final stages. … More Walk 67 – The Three Lochs Way Part 2 (Garelochhead to Balloch) – 17.5 miles

Starting at Sloy Power Station and finishing in Garelochhead, this half of The Three Lochs Way is strenuous but the scenery makes every blister worthwhile! Loch Long is your companion for the majority of the route and you also get glimpses of Loch Lomond and The Gareloch: the three lochs which give this long distance walk it’s name. … More Walk 66 – The Three Lochs Way Part 1 (Inveruglas to Garelochhead) – 18 miles
