It is important to mention that for this example we have used Balmaha or Luss as there are National Park Centres at these sites with suitable parking and toilet facilities. However, there are many more excellent locations for group visits throughout the National Park area.

 

Please contact the relevant Ranger team for more information. This sample programme is entirely flexible and can be adapted to your requirements, but hopefully the description below will inspire you to create your own perfect day anywhere in and around Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Ranger staff can visit your school for a preparatory/introductory session, please contact us to discuss this further.
