Balloch Castle & Country Park
Nice castle but unfortunately it's not open to visit for public. The view around the castle tho, is really amazing and it's a great place for a walk. There are so many different and unique trees which make quite an experience

Absolutely stunning views, plenty of acres to walk the dog. Very clean with no litter which is excellent to see. Toilets are spacious which could be found at the entrance to the path besides the castle. A well kept and clean toilets. A full day is required as there is so much to do for young and the old. Two play parks one for under 10 years old and the other for older children. Plenty of picnic areas. Definitely recommended. Free to enter and free to park just look out for the carved totem pole for your guide to the car park.

Locals told me some lore.The castle while ruling was very harsh and mean. The people in the village were often starving and worked to death while the castle folk thrived . They built the walled garden in order to feed everyone in the castle while also keeping all the villagers out .Oasis played here once !! Everyone kept telling me that and I feel like I should know the band but don’t . Anywhoo, it’s a really nice place. The building is being up kept well. And there’s even a neat walled garden next door if you have a chance to see . It’s all pretty and nice now

The castle itself was closed due to maintenance unfortunately but the outside was quite pretty. It didn't look much like a castle more like a big house. The loch was very pretty and so was the scenery around it. The walled garden wasn't very impressive but the woods around it was. There is a very big lawn for dog walking or pic nics. There is also a small playground near the loch with a few benches. You can go swimming, canoeing, boating or go on a jet ski in the loch. It was pretty just unfortunate the castle was closed.

Beautiful place. Perfect to have a walk around with kids and dogs. Play ground, lake view. Castle in renovation but still nice place to admire and have a break.

Super Friday afternoon spent in the park with our grandson. The grounds are just amazing and walking around the various paths in the grounds and down to the shore was a lovely. Unfortunately the castle building is undergoing repairs and renovations but it will be fabulous when completed. Some of the local roads were closed due to the UCI Cycle race but this didn’t spoil our visit.

Wat a lovely place. Really unforgettable.Castle and the lake give an outstanding beauty to the entire area. Cool and quite atmosphere is a further addition to this attractive area.

Very picturesque location beside Loch Lomond. Lovely autumn colours to be seen. Well maintained paths and loads of space to explore. It's a shame the castle itself is fenced off. The walled garden is worth a look although it probably looks better in spring and summer.

Great place to spend a few hours. Loads to see, lovely loch views, plenty of picnic areas and walks, the walled garden is beautiful. Easy to walk into Balloch to go on the boat tour of the Loch, or eat at one of the restaurants. The Castle is closed but impressive from the outside.
