This area is well known for its outdoor activities – in particular sailing (both dinghies and yachts), windsurfing and canoeing, with Cove Sailing Club being a mere 100 yards away. The area offers abundant walks with several Munroes nearby, including The Cobbler, Ben Lomond, the Arrochar Alps and West Highlands, as well as the Trossachs. Loch Lomond, the largest stretch of fresh water in Britain is only 30 minutes away and provides panoramic views and a large variety of wildlife. The Loch Lomond Visitor Centre offers an excellent insight into the history of the loch, whilst visitors can take a boat trip. Great fishing and golf are also available. Nearby Helensburgh is a traditional seaside town and boasts Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House (NT), which is well worth a visit. In Stirling, visits can be made to the Old Town Jail, where tours are brought to life by actors, and where the glass lift can be taken to the prison roof to enjoy spectacular views across Stirling and the Forth.
