Loch Awe Holiday Park Inverawe Nature Trails

Inverawe walks are walks made by the locals enjoying the country surroundings - we hope you enjoy them too! When walking, always remember to take care of your surroundings and preserve their natural beauty.

Balure Walk

A beautiful walk through the forestry and then onto a track along the lochside as far as you wish. Feel free to take a picnic and make a day of it!

Footwear - Stout walking shoes

1 Go straight out of the car park up the road you came in on.

2 Turn left up the tarmac road for about a quarter of a mile, this leads onto a forestry track at the top of the hill.

3 Follow the track straight on for about 3 miles which eventually opens up onto the hill.

All dogs must be kept on leads through farmland as there are a lot of sheep!

Lily Loch Trail

A charming short walk through the surrounding woods and lochs, with plenty of paths and tracks for children to enjoy.

Footwear - Stout Walking shoes

1 Head towards the Smokehouse and turn left up the hill along the clearly marked Nature Trail.

2 Follow the path up the hill, along the ridge, down through the woods and up to the Lily Pond, which should take about 20 minutes. 3 At the Lily pond turn right for the short route back to the carpark or left around the lily pond.

Riverside Walk

A lovely walk through the fields down by the river. From May to August enjoy the sandmartins on the opposite bank, they are a joy to watch, swooping low over the waters straight into their nests in the river bank.

Footwear - Stout Walking shoes

1 Go to the Smokehouse and turn right along the path leading down to the field.

2 Go through the little wrought iron gate (remembering to close it as the cows always think its greener on the other side!).

3 Walk along the fence towards the river and swing bridge.

4 Turn right at the river; past the bridge, through, or over the gate and carry on along the river.

5 About 100 yards before the power station, turn away from the river and follow track to the gate on the road.

6 Turn right for the quick walk back, or continue on to Loch Etive.

Loch Etive walk

This walk is referred to by residents of Inverawe as “down to the loch”. Just the right length for a daily walk, with wonderful views of Loch Etive, hundreds of rabbits for the kids to spot and always some bird life on the loch side.

Footwear - Normal walking shoes

1 Turn left out of the car park along the road.

2 Carry on up past the powerhouse on the left and down the hill towards the loch. 3 Follow on along the road which after about 200 yards will turn to track.

4 Follow the track either right or left down to the loch (it’s in loop so can go either way).

5 Enjoy the peace and quiet of the river mouth and the multitude of wildlife.

Lastly, please remember to shut gates at all times. Dogs are welcome but please keep them on leads as there are sheep around!
