Loch nam Bonnach (Beauly)

9 kms 03:00 (hrs:mins) 200 metres Explorer 431: Glen Urquhart & Strathglass

Description

The walk is very rewarding; if you get a fine day it opens up some beautiful scenery. An initial climb (well graded) through young conifers on a forestry road takes you to open moorland and the loch at 300m. After a coffee stop at the lochside, you pick up an old track to take you across the moor (some of the forest shown on the map has been cleared down to mixed woodland). There are superb views on this stretch.

Access Info

From the square in Beauly go up Croyard Road, passing the school and going through Ruidick to park at the start of the forest track (509471).

Additional Info

The loch is attractive and there are very good views to Ben Wyvis (1100m) and across the Beauly and Cromarty Firths.
