Specialist upland path contractor ACT Heritage has been appointed to carry out a programme of upgrade works at Conic Hill.

Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park said that 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 they are 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 investing in visitor infrastructure in the National Park.

ACT Heritage will begin the works on 31st October 2022.

Between October – December, work will focus primarily on upgrading the section of the path from Bealach Ard to the ford, before working on the next section from the ford to the forest boundary from mid-January to the end of March 2023.
