Situation
48 Forest View is situated in the Loch Fyne side coastal village of Strachur. Strachur is in southern Argyll at the sheltered confluence of highland glens and the sea loch of Loch Fyne.
For the most part, the village is formed by the ribbon development that runs along the coast. 48 Forest View is to the eastern edge of the village, and it enjoys a village edge and open countryside situation.
Strachur is a delightful and very pretty Loch Fyne side Argyllshire coastal village. Strachur and Loch Fyne are well known for their natural scenic beauty which has always drawn people to the area to live, holiday and enjoy weekend breaks.
The village has a Post Office and café, a retail service station, an excellent Medical Centre with in-house pharmacy, and a vibrant Community Hall and Sports Pavilion, all of which cater for most everyday needs and requirements. Glasgow is about 64.5 miles distant and offers a full range of higher and further educational services as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city.
There are a number of restaurants, all with menus that encompass the term “Scotland’s Natural Larder”; these include Loch Fyne Oysters, The Creggans Inn and Invercottage Restaurant. The George Hotel at Inveraray enjoys an enviable reputation for serving seasonal local produce.
Dunoon is approximately 17.7 miles away with Glasgow Airport at approximately 53.4 miles distant via Loch Lomondside and Oban approximately 58 miles.
Primary schooling is available in Strachur, and secondary schooling is available at Dunoon. The nearest independent school is Helensburgh at 35 miles.
The frequent western ferries service provides access from Gourock to Dunoon, alternatively, the A83 & A82 provide access to central Scotland. Arrochar has a main line rail station with a service to and from Glasgow city centre and a sleeper to London. The frequent western ferry service between McInroy’s Point and Hunters Quay provides alternative travel to Glasgow and the west of mainland Scotland.
The area offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits including cycle routes, challenging hill climbs, walks and several golf courses. The recently established Cowal Way stretches from Portavadie in the West and travels eastwards for 31 miles through some of the most dramatic and picturesque sea and landscapes in the west coast. The coastline of Cowal Peninsula is fast becoming known as Argyll’s secret coast by Welcome to Scotland.
Sea, river, and loch fishing are also available in the area as are a number of commercially run shoots. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.
For sailors, the sea lochs of the west of Scotland offer safe anchorages as well as spectacular coastal sailing; there are marina and chandlery services at Rhu, Inverkip, Portavadie and Dunoon. Loch Fyne is the deepest sea loch in Europe.
Travel Directions
From Glasgow proceed in a westerly direction on the M8 motorway for about 15 miles taking junction 30 onto the Erskine Bridge.

Turn left onto the A815 and travel for about 9 miles to reach Strachur. On arrival in Strachur continue on the A815 passing the petrol station. Immediately after the petrol station turn left onto the minor road, turn right, and take the immediate left onto Forest View, proceed through Forest View to find number 48 Forest View on your right-hand side.
