Description

Ben A'an (454m) is a hill situated in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

The hill itself is often referred to as ‘the mountain in miniature’ for it’s pointed peak.

Very popular with tourists as this short walk provides excellent views being close to Glasgow.

A great little trip out for those with families or those looking to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Scottish scenery without having to put in a major trek.

The car park gets full very quickly in the summer, so it’s suggested to arrive early and grab a space.

Cross the road and head up the track that follows a woodland.

The path is still somewhat steep but offers scenic views of nearby areas.

Continue up and out of the forest to admire the peak of Ben A’an.

You may witness climbers ascending the terrain nearby with ropes and harnesses.

Make your way up to the summit to admire the great views of Loch Katrine and the Southern Highlands of Scotland.

After a selfie and sandwich, retrace your steps back down to the car park.
