Knockmountain
Country park
👍👍 Equidistant between Langbank and Kilmacolm this area of forested hillside is a great place for a walk. The cairn at the top provides expansive views across to Dumbarton, Cardross, Helensburgh, and down the Gareloch.

Monty's Farm Park
Tourist attraction
😐 Was at Monty's today with my 4 year old son, the soft play inside is excellent but the "Farm Park" is tiny. We went round all outdoors sections in less than 30 minutes which was genuinely surprising and disappointing.
Doubt we will be back.
If your looking for a Farm park which will entertain an e...

The Whangie
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Great wee walk 40 mins each way, quite steep at the start but it levels out pretty much for most of the walk. Bring waterproof shoes as it can be very boggy. Stunning views of Loch Lomond on a nice day, and make sure you persist to the unique rocks formation at the end of the walk.

Loch Lomond Seaplanes
Tourist attraction
👍👍 An experience of a lifetime. Pilot sounded like Christian Slater so was funny hearing him comment through the headphones. The plane was no as cramped as I thought it would be looking at it from the outside. Take off was great and once up you get the best possible view of Loch Lomond and onwards (wha...

VisitScotland Balloch iCentre
Tourist information center
👍👍 A lot of reviews have been left here for the loch cruises. This is the wrong place to leave the reviews at as this is a tourist information centre. It’s got a nice little shop in it with little souvenirs of Scotland to purchase. The staff are really nice and friendly in here, if you need any informa...
