Tarbet (not
Tarbert
Loch Fyne)
is a small village sitting on the west coast of Loch Lomond a short
distance from Arrochar. Like Arrochar this is a popular stop on the
West Highland Railway for walkers, cyclists and climbers alike. The
views from this little village are stunning and is probably one of
the reasons why there is a very large hotel, The Tarbet Hotel,
sitting on the main street.

The road north splits at
Tarbet, one branch leading west and north and out of the National
Park and into the equally beautiful county of Argyll, the other
leading north up Loch Lomond.
Day
trippers can relax down near the pier in a large picnic area where
there is a visitor centre and public toilets.
