This reserve is situated in the Highlands of Scotland and is one of the most biodiverse places in the UK. It is home to a vast array of flora and fauna, including ancient Caledonian pine forest, heather-covered moorland, and sparkling freshwater lochs. The reserve is also a haven for wildlife, with species such as red deer, otters, and golden eagles calling it home. The landscape has been shaped by thousands of years of geological and human history, with evidence of ancient settlements and abandoned villages scattered throughout the area. Visitors can explore the reserve's many trails, taking in the breathtaking scenery and spotting the diverse range of wildlife that inhabits this unique and special place.
Absolutely beautiful national park and some great walks that start directly from the parking lot. We arrived later in the day and thus had no time to do the longer trail so we decided to do the short Woodland Trail which took about 45 minutes. We then stayed overnight in the parking lot with our motorhome with a beautiful view on Loch Maree without any problems. The next morning we hiked the Mountain Trail with our dog (not recommended for older or smaller dogs as it is quite steep and rocky). This took us around 3h45, the climb was pretty steep but the views were amazing and totally worth it.
Beautiful views, not too difficult of a climb (though I am a wuss!) Easy to park and well signposted We got struck with bad weather but rewarded with a double rainbow!
Lovely walks, great views. The visitors centre is worth a look in.
Great area for beautiful hikes in all varieties and difficulty. You really should pass by and go for a walk
Free parking. Steep steep walk up clockwise. Well maintained stairs all around. 4 hours if taking time should be enough.
Absolutely fantastic hike. A steep but easy climb with absolutely no difficulties nor dangerous areas. The landscape is breathtaking. It took roughly 2-3h for the loop of about 6.5km and 550m+ elevation at a regular pace.
