📌 Road pass between Aberfoyle & Loch Achray, Stirling
★★★
Duke’s Pass takes you from Aberfoyle on the edge of the National Park into the very heart of the Trossachs. For many it’s the means to an end – a route to the steamship on Loch Katrine, or to walks up Ben A’an or Ben Venue. However, the views north into the Highlands and south to the Lowlands make the drive worthwhile in its own right. Fortunately there are plenty of small laybys to stop in, as constant sharp bends will keep your eyes occupied when moving. If you’re looking for something else leisurely, the Three Lochs Forest Drive starts from near the summit.
