National Route 7
National Cycle Network Route 7 connects Balloch on the southern banks of Loch Lomond with Aberfoyle, Strathyre, Callander, Lochearnhead and Killin.
It forms the southern section of the long-distance Lochs and Glens Way route.
Reachable on traffic-free paths from Glasgow in less than 2 hours on a bike and served by regular train connections at Balloch, National Cycle Network Route 7 in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is a stunning escape from the bustle of the city.
The route runs along a mixture of traffic-free paths and quiet road sections.
There are numerous opportunities for shorter, family-friendly day trips as it traces the beautiful lochs and rolling hills throughout the eastern side of the National Park.
Highlights along the route include:
- the famous Glen Ogle viaduct
- the stunning shorelines of Loch Lomond, Loch Drunkie, Loch Venachar, Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn
- Queen Elizabeth Forest Park
- the BLiSS Art Trail, notorious outlaw Rob Roy's grave at Balquhidder
- and the charming towns and villages of Drymen, Aberfoyle, Callander, Strathyre, Lochearnhead and Killin.
