Great day out!
A visit to The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre feels like you are miles from anywhere - but yet it is just a short walk from your cottage at Staball'ard.

The Alpaca Trekking Centre
Kippen RoadWe would recommend that you book early for this as it can be busy.
A 40 minute drive from Aberfoyle but both The Kelpies and The Falkirk Wheel are worth seeing and doing the tour of. There is a cafe at both sites and 'The Boardwalk' restaurant close to The Falkirk Wheel is a really nice place to eat.

We like to take a picnic and find a space at the edge of the park to have lunch.
On the way home The Smiddy Farm Shop is worth a visit to pick up some nice food for dinner.

A must see!
As you drive towards Lake of Menteith the views are wonderful. Lots of little places to take a picnic lunch and watch the world go by.

There are just so many things to do in the area that we couldn't possibly list them all but we would recommend a visit down to the visitor centre on the Main Street where there is lots of information on what's on.
