Luss Heritage Trail
The 2.5 km Luss Heritage Trail is a family favourite, and with plenty to see, it’s no wonder this walk is so popular. Beginning in the delightful village of Luss, this short trail takes in the historic, model village before continuing through woodlands and the Riverside Path and finishes with a gorgeous stretch lochside. The trail weaves natural beauty and history remarkably, with fascinating sites along the way, like a 7th-century cemetery. Although the walk is family-friendly, the trail does incorporate some steps, so if walking with a child-buggy, two people to lift it will likely be necessary.
