About Loch an Anama
The water here is remarkably still, a dark mirror reflecting the surrounding hills. Loch an Anama sits just outside Inveraray in Argyll, tucked away enough that it doesn't get rammed with day-trippers, yet close enough to the main town that you won't spend forever getting there.
It's a proper freshwater loch - not massive, but substantial enough that you feel genuinely removed from things once you're standing at the shore. The walk around it takes a decent chunk of your afternoon if you take your time, and the landscape is exactly what you'd expect from this part of Argyll: heathery moorland sloping down to the water's edge, with thick woodland in places. On a clear day the reflections are extraordinary.
Families with older kids will find something to do here - there's room to explore without serious danger, and it's the sort of place where you can actually hear yourself think. Walkers get the most out of it though. The tracks aren't marked particularly well, so this isn't the attraction for people wanting a tidy waymarked circuit, but that's exactly the appeal if you prefer discovering as you go.
Free to visit and open all hours since it's just a loch. Allow two to three hours minimum if you're doing the circuit properly, longer if you're bringing a picnic. Both Stucreoch and Strathlachlan caravan parks lie within a few miles, making it a natural half-day venture for anyone based at either. It's not dramatic or famous, but it's worth the detour if you're spending time in the Inveraray area.
