What to expect
-
Rogie Falls
30 min
A short walk from the carpark will allow us to get up close to these impressive waterfalls on a new suspension bridge across the beautiful Black Water river. It's only a short walk from the car park and during August and September there's an excellent chance of seeing wild salmon leaping upstream.
-
Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve
45 min
Our second stop is the breathtaking Corrieshalloch Gorge. Corrieshalloch is one of the most spectacular gorges of its type in Britain and provides striking evidence of how glacial meltwater can create deep gorges. A short steep walk will bring us to a Victorian suspension bridge, where you can gaze down over a series of crashing waterfalls.
-
Ullapool
1 hour
Next up is the picturesque fishing town of Ullapool, nestled on the shores of Lochbroom. Here you can wander through Ullapool's quaint streets, watch the boats, and enjoy a spot of lunch to refuel for the rest of the tour.
-
1 hour
After lunch we will head north to the geological visitor site of Knockan Crag! The low cliff of Knockan exposes rocks that set the scientific world ablaze in the 19th century. The Moine Thrust, as it is known, was created by the force of two continents crashing together many millions of years ago! We will spend time here exploring the geological history, wandering the trails and enjoying the spectacular scenery.
-
30 min
Our next stop is the ruin of Ardveck Castle. The ruin points skyward on a rocky promontory in Loch Assynt, Sutherland, Scotland, UK. The structure dates from about 1490 and is associated with the then landowners, the Macleods of Assynt. We will spend around 30 minutes exploring the small ruin and visiting nearby waterfalls.
-
Wailing Widow Falls, Loch Na Gainmhich
45 min
Our final stop of the day will be the spectacular Wailing Widow Falls! Here you will enjoy a short but tricky walk to the base of the falls (or admire from afar) and learn about how the falls got their name!
