쉬운 Aultbea 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

The whole segment between the lighthouse and the old army base is NOT suitable for bikes. There is no clear path and it is a 10km scramble between rocks and bogs. Very beautiful views but better to approach as a hike rather than pushing the bike across!!!

Paths are clearly visible and easy to hike. The piles of stones and the occasional posts help with orientation. Sturdy shoes are a must in heavy rain.

Around ten seals were relaxing below the hiking trail…

Beautiful gardens created by the visionary Osgood Mackenzie in the mid nineteenth century, these gardens have a woodland shelter belt to protect the main gardens from the worst of the wind and weather. Always worth a visit, they are now well maintained by the National Trust for Scotland.

Rubha nan Sasan is a place of historical and scenic interest in Scotland. It is located on the western tip of Loch Ewe, a natural deep water sea loch that was used as a convoy collecting point during World War II. Rubha nan Sasan was the site of a coastal battery that defended the loch from possible German invasion. The battery had two 6-inch guns and several other structures, such as observation posts, searchlight batteries, magazines, and engine houses. Some of these ruins can still be seen today, along with a war memorial to the crews lost on the Arctic convoys that sailed from Loch Ewe to Russia. Rubha nan Sasan is also a beautiful spot to enjoy the views of the loch and the surrounding hills.

Wonderful view towards the valley of Ullapool.

If you don't want to walk that far, you can climb up here from the beach, planning about 20 minutes each way.

Here you will find the café, toilets and an art exhibition.
