Sunset Walk: Conic Hill

Why wait for the weekend to get outdoors and up a hill? Join Skylark Guiding for this Sunset Walk up Conic Hill!

Sunset Walk: Conic Hill

About Sunset Walk: Conic Hill

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).

Key information:
Start point: Balmaha car park. See map here. Possibility of pick up from a nearby bus stop or train station (please ask about this when booking)
Duration: 3 hours
Ascent: 350m
Distance: 8 km
Terrain: Good path with steps
