Description
A delightful family walk in Glen Affric to view the Dog Falls and the beautiful, secluded Coire Loch.
This is a walk on well-maintained paths with numerous informative notices along the route. These give so much information on the trees and the forest as a habitat. Did you know that Coire Loch, sheltered at the bottom of a bowl, is a nationally important site for dragonflies, with fourteen different species breeding there?
The car park is quite large (it's a busy one), with toilets and picnic tables. There are two hotels in nearby Cannich if further sustenance is required. There is a steep section between Waymarks 07 and 08, but nothing to speak of. Boots are recommended. Those wishing to do only the shorter Dog Falls Walk should follow this route to Waymark 07, then branch off.
Access Info
At Cannich go straight on to the Fasnakyle Power Station and there turn up right, on the Glen Affric road (single-track with passing places). About two miles from the power station you'll see the well-signposted car park on your left.
Additional Info
There is another good walk at nearby Tomich (Walk 878). You can do both in the one day.
