Parking for Meall na Leitreach

Parking for Meall na Leitreach


Postby Jim777 » Wed Apr 07, 2021 4:00 pm

Looking for info on where to park at Dalnaspidal for the Meall na Leitreach area. You used to be able to pull in by the old railway box at 6440 7335. Not sure if this has now been converted into a private house. Think there’s also a parking place going North just before Dalnaspidal and the dual carriageway ends. Wanting to explore the back of Meall na Leitreach ( Meall Breac area ) Any assistance on this would be appreciated.

Turn off the A9 for Dalnaspidal Lodge and you can park just before the level crossing. You can make the turn either blnorth or south bound. There are spaces for probably four or five cars without blocking access. I was there for Beinn Mholach in September or so.

It's never been that busy when I've parked there are it's not used for munro access so might avoid the chaos once people head back to the Highlands.

Is there not an even bigger area immediately to the right of the access road?

Yes, there's the parking just by the level crossing as described, and also an an area if you turn right just a short distance along the access road after coming off the A9 (the Dalnaspidal turn-off from the A9, same as for the level crossing parking), space for a few cars. I've parked there twice and been the only one there.
