Out and About in Ardgour

With its ever-shifting light, wild beauty, and rich variety of terrain, Ardgour is a place made for exploring on foot. From gentle woodland trails to high, windswept summits, every walk offers new views, wildlife encounters, and moments to pause and take it all in.

Gentle Walks and Estate Paths

If you’re looking for a relaxed day outdoors, Ardgour’s network of estate paths is perfect. Wander in any season, choosing a short stroll or a longer ramble depending on the weather and your mood. These routes criss-cross the land, offering something for all ages and abilities.

Climbing the Corbetts

For those drawn to bigger challenges, Ardgour boasts three celebrated Corbetts – Scottish hills between 2,500 and 2,999 feet, each with a drop of at least 500 feet on all sides. Their summits open up incredible panoramas: across Loch Linnhe to Glencoe, out to the mountains of the Small Isles, and over to mighty Ben Nevis.

A Note on Deer Stalking Season

Between August and October, the main deer stalking season takes place. During this time, please stick to marked hill paths and take extra care. Stalking is an important part of managing deer numbers, helping native woodland regenerate and protecting fragile habitats.
