Upgrade works taking place until March 2023
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park (LLTNP) has shared an update on work taking place this winter to Conic Hill path.
Conic Hill is a much-loved destination that attracts huge numbers of visitors each year. However, the huge popularity of the hill has placed significant pressure on the hill path, especially in recent years.
This winter, LLTNP is investing around £420,000 to repair and improve the Conic Hill path from Balmaha, with a similar level of investment likely to be made next year to complete the works.
This is part of a wider commitment from the National Park Authority to invest in visitor infrastructure in the National Park.
Specialist upland path contractor ACT Heritage Ltd was appointed to carry out the works, which started on 31 October 2022.
Between October – December, work focused primarily on upgrading the section of the path from Bealach Ard to the ford, the next section from the ford to the forest boundary from now until the end of March 2023.
