Balmaha is a charming village nestled on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond. It’s a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering stunning scenery and plenty of outdoor activities.
The village itself is small but picturesque, with traditional stone buildings and a friendly atmosphere. It’s a great base for exploring the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, with easy access to hiking trails, boat trips, and watersports.
One of the most popular attractions near Balmaha is Conic Hill, a distinctive cone-shaped hill that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the loch and surrounding countryside. The climb is challenging but rewarding, and the views from the summit are simply stunning.
Another highlight is Inchcailloch Island, which lies just off the shore from Balmaha. The island is home to ancient ruins, including a 6th-century chapel, and is a haven for wildlife. You can reach the island by boat, and there are several boat trips departing from Balmaha throughout the day.
