Kenmore offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: listed buildings, a church building managed by the local community, views across Loch Tay and activities on the water. When planning your stay, you can decide whether to focus on architecture and history, walks and wildlife, or activities on the loch.

Culture, Architecture and History

Taymouth Castle is a Category A listed building in the parish of Kenmore. Kenmore Gate presents a different architectural form: the gate has three arches and is built of rubble stone; its gable is crenellated, and it also features octagonal turrets. The arches, stonework and cresting give the structure a clearly articulated form, making its architectural details a notable feature in their own right.

Kenmore Kirk is 450 years old and is owned and managed by the local community. Visiting arrangements may change, so check them before your visit. An old church in Kenmore was dedicated to St Aiden. At the Scottish Crannog Centre, a guided tour of the museum and its artefacts is part of the visit. Parking is available on site. This guided museum experience is distinct from the viewpoints and trails in the surrounding area.

Views and Trails Nearby

Near Kenmore, the Black Rock viewpoint offers views across Loch Tay and the village of Kenmore. The South Path provides elevated views over Loch Tay, the Taymouth Estate and Drummond Hill. Both offer views of Loch Tay, but each has a different focus: Black Rock also overlooks the village, while the South Path offers views of the estate and hill. This comparison can help you distinguish the viewpoints by what you can see from each.

Near Kenmore, Drummond Hill is a species-rich habitat where a wide range of wildlife can be found. The Falls of Acharn are also nearby and are described as a short walk from the village. So, alongside viewpoints, a natural habitat and a walk offer different options for outings.

On Loch Tay

At Loch Tay, Taymouth Marina offers stand-up paddleboard, kayak, canoe and pedal-boat hire. Its activities take place on the water, making them quite different from walks and viewpoints. A lochside beach stretches from Taymouth Courtyard to the Scottish Crannog Centre. Together, these details provide an overview of the different ways to enjoy the water and shore, without presenting them as a set route.
