Join Aleman for a private journey through the UK’s largest national park. This area is known for its peaceful landscape, clear lochs, and friendly community that welcomes every visitor. Experience wildlife watching and the park’s charm throughout the day.


Worth knowing: There is a cafe, restrooms, and flat paths near the loch. Comfortable shoes are best for short walks.
Aleman’s tip: Bring a light jacket, as the air can feel cool even on bright days.
Important: Train tickets must be booked before the tour. The service may close during strong winds. So please check in advance.
Worth knowing: Lunch is not included in the tour price. Some cafes can get busy. But, I know a few quiet local spots for a comfortable break.
Worth knowing: The paths are clear and easy to follow. I plan this part so there is no rush. Each stop offers a different activity, from short walks to photo moments.
Aleman’s tip: A zoom-enabled camera helps you capture special moments and enjoy your time close to nature and wildlife.
Important: Tickets must be booked in advance. Entry times fill quickly in summer.
Worth knowing: The path is flat and takes about 20 minutes each way. It can be damp after rain, so wear good shoes. I wait nearby while you enjoy the walk.
Important: Distillery tours must be booked in advance, ideally for 2:00 or 2:30 PM.
