Need some easy trails, fire road loops for the family, 5 miles or so.
We did the blue at the nevis range on Tuesday.

There's always the canal towpath. Not a loop, but a nice there and back.

There's a marked cyclepath alongside the road between Glencoe Village and Ballachulish. It then carries on off road (including the line of an old railway track) to the hotel at Kentallen. Makes another good there-and-back with an optional lunch spot.

There are trails around the forest at South Ballachulish.

You can make a wee loop up Ben Lora (Benderloch) but the tracks are pretty steep.

Get over on the little ferry from Appin, onto Lismore for the day. Lovely, flat, virtually car free, and a community cafe on South end of island.

Forestry roads up glen nevis from the Braveheart car park, up to lower falls. For the more adventurous climb up the main road from the west end hotel till you get to a cattle grid. Cross the cattle grid and take a wee path to your left. This will take you up and over into Glen Nevis to meet up with aforementioned forest roads.

If your anywhere near Balachuillish, as scotroutes suggests, go to the cafe at the clubhouse @ devils tooth golf club. Truly magnificent cake, and über friendly too.

Sorry buddy, nothing to hand - though they will all be on the relevant OS sheet (Landranger 41 for Glencoe-Ballachulish-Kentallan). If you park at Ballachulish then you just need to follow the signs for NCN78. Kentallan and back would be 5-6 miles.
