Puck's Glen (Closed)

Long term closure due to storm damage: extensive storm damage is regrettably forcing us to close Puck's Glen Gorge Trail for the 2025 visitor season.The complex nature and extent of tree damage is unfortunately not going to be a quick fix and as a result, Puck’s Glen gorge is not going to be open to the public this season.

We know the glen is a popular destination with local people and those that travel from across the country, the UK and internationally so this is a decision that has not been taken lightly. Our teams will continue to assess the extensive damage and determine the best way forward to reopen the site.

We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and strongly urge visitors to observe and follow all safety and closure signage.

Alternative options: Storm Eowyn also hit other sites on the Cowal Peninsula and our teams are working hard to reopen the forest road network and trails in the area to offer visitors alternative options to Puck’s Glen.

A circular route offer from the Puck’s Glen car park linking Benmore and the wider forest will also be available as soon as safely possible.

Public safety is our top priority so ask for patience and understanding from visitors until it’s safe to access this and any other closed FLS sites.
