Local Walks & Hikes - Loch Ness & drumnadrochit area
Walk Highlands Loch Ness Area
Loch Ness, with its legendary monster, is the most famous of all lochs; at 23 miles long it is the second largest lake in Britain by area. Its great depth, however, means it holds several times more water than its nearest rival, Loch Lomond. The area around the Loch features a variety of walks near Drumnadrochit, with more waymarked trails and easy routes suitable for families compared to some other parts of the Highlands.
There are great local walks & hikes starting from various points along the north side of the Loch. The southern side has much less traffic and a delightful landscape of small hills, attractive woodland and a large number of small, freshwater lochs that are reknowed among fishermen but little known by the rest of the public
