The village of Aberfoyle is one of the gateways to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park in the north of Scotland. It hosts interesting annual festivals; the T4 Great Outdoor Festival and an Autumn food festival which features autumnal Scottish delicacies starring mushrooms. There are various places of interest such as the Poker Tree, the Rob Roy way long distance footpath passes nearby, there is Gelngoyne Distillery to sample a dram or two and if you're interested in castles, both Striling and Doune castles are within 20 miles of Aberfoyle. It might be a small village that has been criticised for being more of a car park to accommodate all those summer tourists but definitely worth a visit.
