Excellent walking for all abilities
Excellent walking for all abilities
Called ‘The Rough Bounds’, Knoydart offers relaxing low level walks, climbing expeditions, dog walks, challenging fell runs, munro bagging, gentle hill climbs or forest and beach walks; basically, if you can imagine it, then we’ve got it, all framed by the most unbelievable scenery and breathtaking landscapes you will ever experience.
The 85 square miles of land that comprises Knoydart is made up of 4 munros (Ladhar Bheinn, Sgurr Na Ciche, Luinne Bheinn and Meall Buidhe), 3 corbetts (Sgurr Coire Coinnichein, Beinn Na Caillich and Beinn Bhuide), plus broad glens, forest, rivers and high lochs, not to mention Loch Nevis and Loch Hourn and, of course, the sea. For such a small piece of land, Knoydart has almost every scenescape you could possibly wish for (apart from skyscrpers – if you want those, you’ll have to go elsewhere!).
Designated a National Scenic Area, Knoydart is usually accessed by water taxi but you could always start your holiday off the way you mean to go on and take the 18 mile, overland hike through the munros from Loch Arkaig, Kinlochhourn, Shiel Bridge, Cluanie Inn or Glenfinnan. That’s if you can manage the baggage, of course.
For first hand walking routes you can purchase detailed walking guides of the area prepared by The Knoydart Foundation Rangers, offering first hand information on getting to in and out of Knoydart. The Knoydart Foundation Rangers are here to show you the hidden corners and stunning landscapes of the Knoydart peninsula. They offer a range of low level short walks and through which you can learn about the iconic wildlife and the turbulent history. They also offer a fascinating insight into life in Knoydart since the Foundation bought the land in 1999 latest walk information is always available for your stay at Knoydart House.
