    Puck's Glen
    Lovely scenic walk with great views, lots waterfalls and wildlife. Was bit slippery underfoot the time of year we went and the wet weather we have had towards end of the year. Could have been signposted better as once at the top was bit confusing where other roads led. Amazing views of Holy Loch @ Dunoon. Unfortunately Botanic garden was closed for the season so struggled to get a hot drink on our decent which would have topped the day off well. An experience well worth a visit.

    Straight from a storybook. An unforgettable walk through the forest. Wear good shoes. Pick a quiet or wetter day to have the gorge walk to yourself. The bus from Dunoon can take you here but be sure to check with the driver, as some buses stop short.

    We had heard a lot about Puck Glen and it didn’t disappoint us. It’s a magical place. You will need walk shoes as it’s very damp in areas and rocky. It’s a good hours walk with some challenging step steps and slight hills to climb. So paths are very narrow with a drop to the river. It has small car park for around 30 cars. Well worth a visit.

    Beautiful and magical
    Beautiful trail with an abundance of waterfalls and a magical atmosphere. Steep in some places and although plenty of areas with hand rails it is wet underfoot with uneven paths. Definitely one for the able bodied. Children will love it but small children need reins/hand holding due to drops into fast running water from the path.

    Enchanted glen
    Having wanted to visit this place since we booked a local holiday, i was a bit aprehensive when we got there due to the steep gradient going up. However it was well worth it, as the scenary, surroundings, smells and sheer beauty of the place more than made up for it. Even if you dont believe in fairys, magic or have any spiritual beliefs, there is something other worldly about pucks glen which gives it a very special feel and dare i say it brings you closer to nature. I would definately recomend this to anyone wanting or needing to reconnect or get in touch with nature as a special place to visit.

Visited last week, when unfortunately the weather was against us and my daughter and I were looking for walks that are not so bad in pouring rain ☔️
Such a delightful magical place that really is like a fairy Glen. It still poured with rain but the upside was that the waterfalls are even more stunning. Made our day to see a red squirrel (only the second I’ve ever seen!)
Definitely recommend a visit. You need proper walking boots as it can be a little slippy when wet.

There are several walks up and down through the forest here, but the walk along the gorge is the highlight! Really great. Recommend using the Argyll Forest Park Map and Trail guide which is free to access online on the Scottish forestry and land website. This also shows where to park and facilities.

Beautiful woodland with lots of waterfalls and gullies. Perfect for dog walking although remember to use tick repellent as the whole glen is full of the dreaded creature's. My dog got a horrible tick on his head took 24 hours to kill will tick treatment and the poor dog was almost demented with it. Still beautiful, just make sure you wear socks and trousers.

Puck's Glen is a must-see if in the area. To be able to wander through the Glen and enjoy a magical, natural experience is quite something in this age of instant pleasure on demand and technology. A visit out of season is recommended to avoid the crowds.

An absolutely stunning walk. We regularly walk/hike but for me it’s usually somewhat begrudgingly! I saw the photos and reviews on trip advisor and couldn’t resist suggesting it as it’s only a relatively short walk, however has some of the most incredible scenery I have ever seen. We couldn’t believe how green everything was, it was like something out of Jurassic World or Lord of the Rings. We did the red walk and walked clockwise as per some earlier reviews as I was slightly tentative being that I’m 30 weeks pregnant with a dodgy pelvis! I put my support band on and managed it no problem, just taking my time. There are quite a few stone stairs towards the end, and towards the top of them there was one marker to either turn left farther along the gorge over bridges, or go right and higher up. We consulted the map and decided to go higher up some more stairs which it turns out was the right way. At the very top of the stairs we also then came across a bench and 2 red route markers, one leading uphill and one to the forest. We saw a couple we’d seen earlier coming from the hill towards the forest and checked that we were now heading down, which turned out to be the right way. The top route was closed for logging but I didn’t fancy anymore uphill waddling by this point so it’s maybe for the best!
I can’t say how long it took as I lost track of time, but is only 2 miles so wouldn’t take the average non-pregnant person very long! We did stop to take lots of photos along the way too, and my 7 year old asked if we could do it again as even he was in awe at the surroundings. Highly recommended.

Pucks glen is a beautiful and magical place to visit, it's so tranquil and peaceful.
It takes about an hour to walk the full circuit or you can take the short cut which cuts it in half.
We did the circuit clockwise but If we were to return be would probably do it anticlockwise as it is quite steep in some places.
It's definitely somewhere I'd love to again, possibly after the rain, as we visited on a very dry day.
