周辺の峠・トップ7

The views from this point are sensational, some of the best in Scotland.

Great long descent that you can really enjoy.

A wonderful hill that will reward in all weathers - but you do get the best views if the weather is good! Personally I have found the clockwise circuit better, but in either direction care is needed over the Horns.

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.

The highest of the two Munros forming Beinn Alligin. Sgùrr Mòr provides spectacular views down to the Horns of Alligin as well as great views of the Corbett Beinn Dearg and the Munro summits of Liathach. It is an easy Munro to climb if doing a clockwise circuit, with an easy ridge walk from the lower Munro summit of Tom na Gruagaich. The anticlockwise route over the Horns of Alligin is more challenging with exposed Grade I scrambling over the three Horns particularly if descending this way. In winter this becomes a serious Scottish winter mountaineering venture.

Absolutely one of, if not, the finest road climb in Britain - can’t recommend it enough 😎😎 Not for the faint hearted!!

One of the most scenic parts of the NC500

Bealach na Bà is just an iconic climb, it has to ridden off you are in the area. Be prepared to stop as there are campervans and cars in both directions and sometimes you may need let them pass both up and down. Be aware that the weather at the top may be totally different to the start of the climb. Its a tough old climb and should be treated with respect.
