Cashel Scotland Site no: UK014

Loch Lomond is one of the best known of the Scottish lochs, and many would argue that its ‘bonnie banks’ also offer the most perfect scenery.

Situated in a grassy enclave amidst the tree-lined banks of the loch, Cashel has as much to offer sailors as it does walkers. Campers with their own boat are welcome to cast off for a leisurely sail, while everyone is able to take one of the regular loch cruises that explore the inlets and islands of Britain’s biggest expanse of inland water. Those who prefer to stay on dry land will find a number of Ranger-guided pursuits as well as the exceptional walking opportunities afforded by both the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and the majestic Ben Lomond.

A UK Escapes break is all about returning to nature, so you won't find electricity or a fridge in our UK tents. To make your stay comfortable though, a cool box (ice packs available on-site) and lanterns with rechargable batteries are provided.
