Ben Ledi

Ben Ledi rises sharp and definite above Lochearnhead, and on a clear day the walk up rewards you with views across the Trossachs that make the leg-burn worthwhile. It's not a technical climb - the path from the village is well-trodden and straightforward - but it's proper steep in places, and you'll feel it. Allow three hours up and down, maybe four if you're taking photographs or stopping to catch your breath.

Walkers will get the most from this one. There's nothing at the top except the trig point and the views, which is exactly why it's worth doing. The panorama sweeps across Loch Earn, towards Ben Vorlich, and on exceptionally clear days you can pick out peaks further afield. Families with older kids who don't mind a slog will manage it fine. Younger ones might find it a grind.

The walk starts from Lochearnhead itself, so parking is straightforward. Go early if you're visiting in summer - the narrow lanes fill up. There's no admission fee, and there are no facilities on the mountain, so carry water and something to eat.

If you're staying at Callander Woods Holiday Park or Keltie Bridge Caravan Park, Ben Ledi makes an excellent half-day excursion. Both parks sit within striking distance, and the walk breaks up a park-based holiday nicely. It's honest fell-walking rather than a casual stroll, but that's precisely its appeal.
