Route Description for Glen Quoich Walk
Featuring a winding river and beautiful views from an elevated position above the glen, the Glen Quoich Walk is a wonderfully scenic adventure that is perfect for a wide variety of outdoor enthusiasts, including families and casual adventurers.
Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the northeast and cross over the Quoich Water, passing by Quoich Cottage as the trail bends to the northwest through the forest. Here, you will take in some pleasant views of The Punch Bowl falls, before heading right at a fork in the path that will lead you away from the riverbank and up the hillside.
Continuing on to the northwest, you will traverse this elevated position and enjoy views looking down onto the glen below, eventually descending to the west in order to cross over the water. Once you are on the opposite bank, you will follow Quoich Water to the southeast along the valley floor, passing through intermittent stretches of woodland terrain on the return to the car park.
