21 May 2024: please be aware that the Glen Donich Trail cannot currently be completed as a circuit due to an unsafe bridge at the meeting of the waters. The Donich Falls can be seen from the track either side of the unsafe bridge, but visitors should return the same way and not attempt to cross the bridge.
There is a Diversion in place for the Loch Lomond and Cowal way which uses the section of Donich Glen Trail from Inveronich to reach the other side of the bridge.
At the head of Loch Goil, explore pretty woodland where the beautiful Donich Falls are framed by towering conifers and join generations of travellers passing along the old Duke’s Path.
Follow an ancient Argyll road to discover the glorious Donich Waterfalls at the head of a secluded glen.
Uneven gravel paths, with rough and narrow rocky sections. Occasional patch may be muddy. Long steep slopes for 600m. Includes some rough steps and a gate.
Allow 1 ½ hours
