Hiking Tyndrum Community Woodland Loop
A short woodland circuitTyndrum Community Woodland Loop is an easy 1.
Tyndrum Community Woodland Loop is an easy 1.8-mile (about 3 km) figure-eight from the signed Dalrigh parking area, just south of Tyndrum. It takes about an hour and links the river, woodland tracks and a low viewpoint above a lochan. The community woodland has several other paths; this route follows one particular circuit rather than covering the whole site.
Follow the river to the lochanFrom Dalrigh, head down the former road track, pass the gate and turn onto the West Highland…
From Dalrigh, head down the former road track, pass the gate and turn onto the West Highland Way before the stone bridge. The narrow riverside path crosses a small stream on stepping stones and reaches a stone seat marking the 1306 Battle of Dalrigh. After a ford, follow the signed path to a larger track and wooden bridge, then climb. Where the West Highland Way turns off, stay straight; a narrow spur by a wooden moon-phase sculpture climbs to a viewpoint over the lochan. Local legend says Robert the Bruce's men left their swords there to escape more quickly. From the hillock, frame the water with the rounded hills beyond; it is the walk's clearest photo stop.

The route gains about 48 m, but it is not a surfaced stroll: expect narrow, sometimes unmarked paths, stepping stones and fords. The Dalrigh start has a picnic table and route map board. Donations help maintain the community woodland and car park.
