This guided walk will visit Conic Hill, a sharp little summit rising above Loch Lomond, using a circular route. Right on the Highland Boundary Fault, this short hill walk offers truly fantastic views over Loch Lomond and its many islands.
We'll take a less well frequented route to the summit and return via the better known hill path to make the most of the views.
Timings allow for a walk at a social pace with breaks to enjoy the views and a short evening picnic (please bring along snacks and drinks if you like).
