Explore the Area
Loch Ard offers a magnificent backdrop, and the Forest Park is packed with walking routes and cycle trails so visitors can easily explore and appreciate the stunning scenery and wonderful wildlife. The Loch is also used for water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing available from the Loch Ard Adventure Centre (www.lochardadventure.co.uk) which is directly across the road from the resort. They also run gorge walking, archery and cliff jumping. Next to the resort is Ledard Farm (www.greattimescotland.com) where Fergus and Gregor Wood (father and son) offer clay pigeon shooting, presentations on the history of the farm, highland weaponry and highland agriculture and sheep dogs. Just 4 miles along the loch you will find Aberfoyle, a pretty village full of small shops and cafes with a Tourist Information. The Scottish Wool Centre offers a wide selection of gifts, and puts on regular sheepdog displays, showing the dogs rounding up their flock of ducks! The Queen Elizabeth Forest Park extends over 50,000 acres from Loch Lomond’s eastern shore to the mountains of Strathyre. Start at the excellent Lodge Forest Visitor Centre, just up the hill from Aberfoyle, for great walks, wildlife trails, ranger-led activities and more. Here you will also find tree-top activity specialists "Go Ape" (goape.co.uk/locations/aberfoyle). The bustling town of Callander is worth a visit for those on the lookout for locally produced artisan gifts.

This is a wonderful opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful sights of Scotland whilst being conveniently located for the two major cities Glasgow (40mins) and Edinburgh (1 hour). I have been holidaying at Forest Hills since the 1980s, when I came with my parents; from as long ago as I can remember until I went to university. I took on the timeshare (originally Spruce 12) in 2018, when my own children were of school age, as it is during the school spring break. The original apartment has now been removed from the club so we are now allocated either Spruce 2 or Spruce 4 – conveniently the closest units to the hotel and leisure facility. This year my daughter is clamouring to go abroad, so we are offering it up for another family to enjoy this lovely apartment in an amazing place.
