Highlights along the way
Duke’s Pass
The A821 climbs through tightly bending woodland roads above Aberfoyle before opening towards the Trossachs lochs.
Before you set off
Woodland bends can hide cyclists and slow traffic. Use signed parking for loch visits; forest-drive entrances are not part of the loop. Check current closures and conditions before travel. Estimated time excludes stops and live traffic. Points are through-road references, not parking. Optional town visits may require a separate detour.
