Tips

David Bavin-Hobbs

November 17, 2022

Applecross is the ideal starting point for taking on Bealech na ba, one of the top 100 climbs in the UK. Plenty of cafes to refuel if you're about to take on the climb. It's a pretty fishing village in it's own right but it's dominated by the famous climb.

Bacon rolls & coffee were being served outside the hotel the day I visited - very welcome after crossing Bealach Na Bà😉
