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.

This is the famous, classic, view of An Teallach as seen from it's summit Bidein a' Ghlas Thuil. This view across to Sgurr Fiona and the Corrag Bhuidhe pinnacles is IMHO sensational in its own right, but this is made even more special by its sudden appearance. When you climb An Teallach from Dundonnel this whole view is hidden right until the very last moment when you reach the stop of the steep bouldery slope very close to the summit. When you finally crest the ridge and this view opens out in front of you it just takes your breath away. Hope you enjoy it.

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.

Slioch at 980m is a Munro in the North West Highlands. The summit occupies a commanding position overlooking Loch Maree offering amazing views in virtually all directions, but particularly south west towards the Torridon hills but also north and north east across Lochan Fada towards the remote hills of the Fisherfield Forest. Slioch is defended on the west and northern sides by impressive sandstone crags which is why the mountain is such an iconic view when seen across Loch Maree. The usual approach is from Kinlochewe to the south which takes advantage of an approach via Coire na Sleaghaich and short ridges of the Torridonian sandstone. This is a long walk of about 22km round trip where the first part involves walking along the Kinlochewe River for 4km and requires crossing the Abhainn Fhasaigh via a footbridge as it flows out of Gleann Bianasdail before even starting to climb Slioch itself. The ascent itself is relatively straightforward with minimal scrambling on the ridge route up and down. Make sure you visit the subsidiary summit of Sgùrr an Tuill Bhàin which is a better viewpoint to the north east. Slioch is one of the Munro giants and make sure you reserve a day of good weather because it is a day you will not forget.

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!!

Starting from near sea-level it rises 626m in 9.1km of uphill – reaching 20% at its steepest gradient. If you wanted to do an ‘everesting’ challenge, it would only take 14.1 times to climb the 8,848m. One of the most beautiful climbs in Britain – if not one of the hardest.

tough climb but super awesome at the top if clear. You can see Skye!

Despite the climb only being 600m Bealach na Ba has real alpine feel to it. It is quite spectacular. Best ridden East to west, then topped of with a drink at the Applecross Inn at the bottom of the beautiful and fun descent.

The Bealach is pretty fearsome from either approach, but climbing from Tornapress probably gives the best descent. The climb itself starts pretty steady with spectacular views of the eastern cliffs of the mountain you are about to cycle over. On turning east and heading into Coire na Ba, things pick up a little and it doesn't really relent at all till near the top, where switchbacks drop the gradient to something a bit more manageable. The steepest sustained section is just prior to the switchbacks, where the gradient averages maybe 14-15%. It is a grind unless you are one of those sprightly road cyclists, and the entire climb itself should not be underestimated. With the switchbacks completed it is a short run to the top of the route, with spectacular views over to Skye. The best views down the Bealach itself are slightly before the summit, captured in a separate highlight. It's also worth noting that there are other road users, and although there plenty of passing places, you may have someone on your tail for a while - from my experience, motorists are sympathetic to those struggling to get up there. Having got to the top, the descent to Applecross itself is fantastic, but care is required due to a few very sharp bends. From Applecross, the masochistic can return the way they came, or the slightly less masochistic can head north around the coastal road to Shieldaig. It is pretty lumpy, particularly when getting towards Shieldaig, but nothing anywhere near as steep or sustained as the Bealach.

If you wonder why An Teallach is frequently cited as the greatest single mountain in Britain, hike up to Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill and you'll soon see why. A lofty summit in a region known as 'the Great Wilderness', the panorama is extensive. Yet it is the view towards Sgurr Fiona and beyond to the Corrag Bhuidhe Pinnacles that will have your hairs standing up on end and your heart soaring.

A fantastic munro summint with views to Sgurr Fiona and Lord Berkleys seat. The scree slopes below are steep but worth all the effort. Those uncomfortable with scrambing could consider this Munro by ascending directly up the path from the Mountain Rescue hut at Dundonnell.

At 9.1km in length and with 626 metres of climbing this is the best cycling climb in the UK

Best enjoyed with sun or high clouds, otherwise you won't have much of a view. And if you're going 'round the whole peninsula, save some gas in the tank for the latter half as the hills don't really stop, they just get smaller.

A long walk in from Kinlochewe, but worth it for the views.

Great climbing challenge. There are steeper climbs but this one is exceptionally long and arduous. A pure delight especially if you have the weather to see the views from the top.

This is the easier way to climb Bealach na Ba, but going from the other direction would have created a ridiculous diversion!

Be prepared for unclipping and re-clipping in if riding with clipless pedals. It is most likely to occur on the steeper sections at passing places when giving way to motor vehicles. I prefer MTB pedals on my road bike for such conditions.

Proclaimed as one of the UK’s toughest and most magnificent stretches of tarmac, complete with stunning scenery and the greatest amount of ascent of any British road

This has to be one of the best Munro summit views of all. Looking back towards Sgurr Fiona Munro Summit and the Fisherfield Munros beyond, the views from Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill are phenomenal. Whether you bravely scrambled the Grade 2-3 pinnacles, or stuck to the relative safety of the bypass path (like me), you still get awesome views from the summit of this great mountain. Is An Teallach the best mountain on mainland Britain? You decide!
