The team at Argyll Adventures are very professional, the trip we went on was very well organised with safety and fun equally measured. Our hour trek along a lovely path with views out to Loch Fyne was terrific for both adults and kids, the ponies are very well trained calm and friendly. The team encouraged and guided us through out. A really memorable and fun experience.

Puck's Glen

Reviewed By EmmaA512 - Newark-on-Trent, United Kingdom

There are several walks up and down through the forest here, but the walk along the gorge is the highlight! Really great. Recommend using the Argyll Forest Park Map and Trail guide which is free to access online on the Scottish forestry and land website. This also shows where to park and facilities.

Dun Na Cuaiche Woodland Walk

Reviewed By Silverroyboy

I have driven past Inverary Castle many times and looked way up at the monument high up above the castle, my eldest son has completed the walk/hike on several occasions, and knowing I like walking we decided to drive the 90 miles to Inverary for the day. Anyone who enjoys a walk and a challenge will not be dissapointed as it is beautiful especially from the top. I have had both knees replaced and have a dodgy hip,so if I can do it, most can as well. it is well worth the effort looking accross Loch Fyne and the mountains breathtaking!! Roy A

Book this if you stay near Oban. Book this if you have to drive 3 hours. Book this if you even remotely like animals because you can tell Paul really loves what he does and is lucky enough to do it for a living. This was worth it just to be able to see these truly awe inspiring birds of prey in their natural habitat and that they were so gentle and beautiful was unexpected. Paul spent well over 90 min with us, totally on our own.. no other guests. He was patient, so informative and never once did this feel like a lecture about birds. It was more like he and they let us into their little family group for a few hours and we were so so lucky. I know this sounds over done.. it’s not. It was pouring rain at first and I hate rain and did not even care I was so blown away. So great. Do it.

Benmore Botanic Garden

In a magnificent mountainside setting on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll lies Benmore, an enchanting Garden steeped in history and surrounded by dramatic scenery.

Reviewed By Chr1st1ne11

I'd wanted to visit these gardens since seeing them on Gardeners World and they were even better than I'd hoped. Beautiful trees, quiet space, lovely walks, red squirrels, interesting features around the gardens including a restored Victorian fernery on a hillside. Not to be missed.

Kilmartin Glen

Reviewed By 133glynd - Lochgilphead, United Kingdom

(OLDER THAN STONEHENGE) ??? (PHREHISTORC)????? WTF. There are more than 350 ancient monuments within a six mile radius of the village, with 150 of them being prehistoric. Monuments include standing stones, a henge monument, numerous cists, and a ‘linear cemetery’ comprising five burial cairns. Several of these, as well as many natural rocks, are decorated with cup and ring marks. forget southern England's offerings (FREE ADMISSION) apart from the museum at kilmartin,so what is around here things to do and see Crinan canal / Dunadd fort prehistoric Carnassarie castle and lots of other attractions soon to open after covid, get your walking boots on and take a walk back in history...

Inveraray Castle

Inveraray Castle is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll and their young family. Ancestral home of Clan Campbell. Iconic visitor attraction on the West coast of Scotland.

Reviewed By Marls1234

I had an amazing time at Inveraray Castle. All staff were lovely, the gardens were magnificent, the castle itself is a fantastic historical gem and the scones in the tea room are to die for. Notably, my guide Bridget was extremely informative and her bubbly personality absolutely made our day. Thank you Bridget.
