Beinglas Waterfall

Highlight • Natural Monument

If hiking Beinn Chabhair then I’d recommend reaching the summit via the waterfall. However, as it’s a steep climb, avoid it on the way back down by choosing the longer route that winds back to the campsite.

Waterfalls of Abhainn Dhiseig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dozens of pretty waterfalls line the stream on the lower section of this mountain. There is a direct path, but following the curve of the stream is worth it for the sound of the cascades.

Aros Park Waterfalls

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

After a tour of the whiskey distillery (Tobermory), you can have a good lunch here at the bank and as a small digestion enjoy the waterfall tour.

Eas Daimb Waterfalls

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this tranquil waterfall, the path crosses onto the far side between two converging streams. A rope tied to trees helps the crossing. It's a very pretty spot.

Tighness Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Having gone past lots of scary looking Ministry of Defence signs, I didn't feel very obedient when I saw the sign saying "Cyclists dismount", but you should obey as it's very steep.
