Just a 20 minute drive from Oban Holiday Home you'll find a magical atmosphere, with soaring Douglas firs, a rocky gorge, waterfalls, stunning views and a troll...
There’s something for everyone here, including perfect picnic spots and a host of enticing forest trails.
You can enjoy a gentle riverside stroll through a grove of towering firs, or climb up beside a dramatic gorge carved out by the rushing Abhainn Teithil Burn in search of waterfalls, lofty bridges – and a mischievous troll.
If you’re feeling energetic, head farther into this lovely mixed woodland on foot or by bike to find Glen Dubh reservoir and enjoy fantastic views over the Firth of Lorne and its islands.
