Top 8 Caves 북서부 고원

a nice spot for a snack break. eneterance is quite low so you might need to take your rucksack off before entering.

Quite a popular little hike, so it's quite busy. The caves aren't really that impressive - apart from their age and the finds, they're quite small - but there's a really strong spring on the way, which basically creates a fairly large stream on the side of the path.

The wonderful Livingstone Walk takes you around the eastern side of the Isle of Ulva - which has been inhabited since prehistoric times! The walk incorporates old ruins, caves, and basalt columns, along with fantastic views across Lock Na Keal.

Great caves! They're obviously part of a system that you can descend into when you have experience.

The large opening reveals a waterslide with a river flowing from a pothole above and leaving through the cavern to the right (where it ends in a sump). Don't try to enter the cave as the ground is steep and slippery - this is a dangerous place.

The water can't be seen but it can be heard - the large chamber is a dead-end. Further progress, strictly for equipped and experienced cavers only is made by crawling to the right under a section of low roof.

Lower Traligill Cave is the main sink for the River Traligill from Gleann Dubh. In wet weather the cave overflows and resurges, rapidly flooding the valley below. The entrance is visible from the Glenbain track, a broad arch with gravel and boulders on the floor.

Green shimmering algae on cold stone walls, an underground waterfall, a large chamber that opens onto a bay with a sandy beach - the Smoo Cave is an impressive natural beauty in the north of Scotland.
