PWA8 Oban to Kerrera Ferry

2 hours: 3 miles (5 km)

A great but tough walk to a viewpoint overlooking Oban harbour before heading cross-country to return along a beautiful coast road. A variety of paths – road, track and even a bit of bog-hopping! ATP's only and previous off-road experience advised.

PWA14 Cruachan Reservoir, Loch Awe byTaynuilt

4 hours: 6 miles (10km)

A hillclimb suitable for all pushchairs! This long route takes you into the heart of the Cruachan massif, and all on good track. Our first hard walk suitable for strollers, with stunning mountain scenery. But remember the first 3 miles are all uphill… There are no facilities around the route and a leash is recommended for the descent.

PWA25 Ardgartan Woodland, Arrochar

1.5 hours: 2 miles (3km)

Walk in tranquil woodland and along the loch shore in the heart of the Arrochar Alps with fantastic views and a carpet of bluebells in spring. Good paths, which are rough in places so ATPs only. There is one short but very steep section which is better with 2 people.

PWA44 Balloch Castle Country Park, Loch Lomond

1 hour 15 mins: 2.5 miles (3.5 km)

An easy walk with spectacular views over Loch Lomond in the grounds of Balloch Castle. Take in grassy lawns, a walled garden, tumbling burns and a brilliant playground as you explore. Paths rough in places so ATPs are recommended but sturdy strollers should cope. Suitable for double pushchairs.

PWA41 Kilmichael and the Kyles of Bute

2 hours: 3.5 miles (5.5 km)

Walk to the most northerly habitation on Bute along good (but muddy) tracks to visit ancient monuments with spectacular views across the Kyles of Bute to the Cowal Peninsula. ATPs only and take toddler wellies for puddles!

PWA48 Ritual Grove, Glenbranter by Dunoon

1 hour: 2 miles (3.5 km)

A level walk to an accessible woodland trail which takes you past waterfalls and to a lovely pebbly beach by a stream. Suitable for all pushchairs and the woodland trail is suitable for wheelchairs.

PWA10 Kilmartin Glen Archaeology Trail

1 hour 30 mins: 2.5 miles (4.5 km)

Kilmartin Glen is one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe and this easy walk takes you around some of the most important monuments near the village and has lovely views of the valley. Apart from the incline down from the village, the walk is level and the path is suitable for strollers and wheelchairs and the museum has an excellent café!

PWA2 Crinan Canal, near Lochgilphead

1 hour: 2 miles (3.5 km)

Walk along the Crinan Canal towpath with stunning views of the coastline, estuary and across to the Hebrides. Smooth surfaces all the way, but there is a long uphill stretch to return to the village. This route is suitable all pushchairs except side-by-side double buggies as the locks are too narrow.

PWA35 Lochmaben Castle, Lockerbie

1 hour 30 mins: 3 miles (5km)

A stroll in Robert the Bruce's territory along good paths to visit a ruined castle. Lake and woodland views, picnic spots and bird hides make this a lovely walk at any time of year. Suitable for all pushchairs, and wheelchairs can make it to the first picnic spot at half way (though not to the castle itself).

PWA3: West Otter Ferry, Lochgilphead

1 hr: 1.5 miles (2.5 km)

A lovely linear walk to a picnic point at the site of the Otter Ferry across Loch Fyne, with views up and down the loch and on a clear day you might even see Arran ! Good track all the way but the rough gravel surface means inflatable tyres are a must.

PWA4: West Otter Ferry Circuit, Lochgilphead

1 hr 30 mins: 2.5 miles (3.5 km)

A tough circular walk to a picnic point at the site of the Otter Ferry across Loch Fyne and then returning on woodland paths and forest tracks. Lovely views up and down the loch and on a clear day you might even see Arran. Gravel tracks and grassy paths with one extremely steep climb making this a tough walk! ATPs only.

PWA5: Lower Black Loch, Oban

1 hr 30 mins: 3 miles (5 km)

Walk to the lowest Black Loch above Oban. This walk has a lovely remote feel despite being easily reached from Oban. The rough gravel surface restricts this walk to pushchairs with pneumatic tyres. Suitable for double buggies and good for little walkers due to the amount of puddles!

PWA32 The Goudrons, Machrihanish

1 hour: 2 miles (3.4km)

A short walk to a lovely bay with stunning sea views throughout. Good tracks and across smooth path this route is suitable for double and single ATPs. Bring a bucket and spade!
