Distance Approximate Time Height Gain OS Map
11 kms 03:30 (hrs:mins) 175 metres Explorer 398: Loch Morar & Mallaig

Description

A wonderfully varied route with spectacular views. The route crosses the Ardnish Peninsula and a freshwater loch which is excellent for swimming, to a small settlement on the point of the peninsula and a bay, long since deserted, but with a well-maintained bothy among the ruins. The bothy is open and visitors are welcome to stay. If you intend to do so, please collect some firewood as you make your way through the woods to replace any you use. The beach can have spectacular sunsets. This is an excellent walk for kids, with good spots for swimming.

Access Info

Travelling the A830(T) from Fort William to Mallaig you will pass Lochailort and see a white church on the hillside. Over the brow of the hill is a lay-by with ample parking space. This is the start of our route.
