Bealach na Bà from Applecross is a legendary Highland climb, averaging 7% over 9 km with brutal ramps up to 20%. The single-track road winds through jaw-dropping mountain scenery, with hairpin bends, steep gradients, and exposure to wild weather. The tarmac is generally good, but the climb demands pacing—start steady and save energy for the relentless final switchbacks. Stay alert for oncoming vehicles and give yourself space on tight corners. Reach the summit, and you're rewarded with one of the most dramatic views—and descents—in all of the UK.

Despite the climb only being 600m Bealach na Ba has real alpine feel to it. It is quite spectacular. Best ridden East to west, then topped of with a drink at the Applecross Inn at the bottom of the beautiful and fun descent.

This is the easier way to climb Bealach na Ba, but going from the other direction would have created a ridiculous diversion!
