The Hill Fort of Craig Phadrig, meaning 'Patrick's Rock'. Here you can escape the city of Inverness, and enjoy the quiet views from this iron age fort dating back to 300BC. You can also see Ord Hill, another ancient Hill Fort, across the waters of the Beauly Firth.

There are very beautiful views and the ruins of a fortress to visit. On top of that, you can enjoy the peace and quiet.

Great woodland walk up and around the fort. The fort itself needs a lot of imagination, but luckily it comes with great views and an information board :-)
