location to act as your base camp.

Climb some mountains:

walks easily accessible from our location.

Fishing:
Loch Awe boasts excellent fishing with excellent water quality and a thriving population of fish from Trout to Perch to Pike. Can you beat the record for the largest Pike landed at 35.5lbs?
Kintail Birds of Prey:
Over 25 native British birds of prey are on display in stunning grounds overlooking the longest freshwater loch in Scotland. Hold Heidi the golden eagle, feed the peregrine falcons, fly Snoopy the Barn Owl and Dotty the Kestrel & much more!
Boating, Canoe or Kayak:
Loch Awe is a wonderful Loch to explore for experienced boaters, canoeists, and kayakers with easy launch and access from sites near the Ben Cruachan Inn. We MUST stress Loch Awe can be dangerous and swimming is not recommended. Life preservers should be worn at all times and only those with experience should venture out into the waters unguided.
