Queen Elizabeth Forest Park is a great area close to Edinburgh Glasgow and enjoy getting into nature, whether it's on foot, bike, or boat.
The park's highlights include The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre near Aberfoyle (where you can find activities like the Go Ape Zipline), Loch Katrine (for great walks and to get out on the water with Loch Katrine Cruises), and the picturesque Loch Ard, which is great for family strolls and cycle rides.
There's also the famous Three Lochs Drive (open at certain times of year) if the weather isn't as good, or you don't fancy walking too far. Lots of picnic places here too.
Whether you're seeking adventure or just want to relax and enjoy the view, Queen Elizabeth Forest Park has something for everyone.
