Highland walks
Ardnamurchan

ARDNAMURCHAN, SUNART, MOIDART AND MALLAIG

The Road to the Isles stretches from Fort William to Mallaig, passing famous landmarks such as the Glenfinnan Monument and the Silver Sands beaches around Morar. This is a region of rugged grandeur. Surprisingly there are only three Munros, which has kept the area from receiving too much attention from walkers; this part of Scotland is for connoisseurs.

To the south and west of the road are the regions of Ardgour, Morven and Moidart, each with its own hidden delightful walks, whilst Loch Sunart is encircled by magnificent oakwoods. Beyond is Ardnamurchan, the most westerly part of the British mainland and noted for its dramatic seascapes and fine sandy beaches.
