What are the popular attractions in Dunoon and its surrounding areas?

Glaswegians have long daytripped and vacationed in Dunoon, located on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute. Visitors from near and afar still make the journey for the town's attractive promenade, historic Castle Mound, and large Victorian pier. The town is a great base to explore Argyll Forest Park (much of which lies within Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park) where the rugged mountains, dramatic glens, forests, and moors form a natural playground that is perfect for walking, climbing, cycling, and wildlife spotting. Visiting campers have plenty of options, from well-appointed caravan parks to wild camping under the stars.
