A car park isn't usually a hiker's idea of a Highlight but in this case it's warranted. This is because there are no more public roads west of here, as Glen Affric gets more and more remote. The immediate surroundings are beautiful and it's just a short stroll to a great viewpoint for Glen Affric. There are also toilet facilities here.

Hiking

Plenty of parking and picnic spots here. The viewpoint is a very short walk and, there are other rights of way through the glen. From here there are also Munro that can be walked in to.
