In the area of Wester Ross, between Guinard Bay and the Torridon Hills, there are many attractions that can provide more than enough to spend an enjoyable and interesting week.
The natural scenery is there for everyone to enjoy. The coast is a mixture of spectacular sea lochs, fine sandy bays, high cliffs, rocky outcrops and small but interesting settlements Inland the countryside is equally varied. Mountain streams pass through the high moorland over picturesque waterfalls on their way to the more fertile strips of land adjacent to the sea. As the light constantly changes so do the panoramas, making the whole area a photographers paradise.
For those interested in wild life there is plenty to see and admire. In spring and summer there is an abundance of wild flowers. Birds, from the tiny wren to golden eagles are never too difficult to find and there is a wealth of sea creatures which can be viewed from the small boats that operate from Gairloch and Ullapool.
The many walks range from the easiest of strolls over fine sandy beaches, over rocky cliffs or along riverside paths to the much more challenging ascent of some of the higher peaks.
There are gardens, small museums and historical remains to visit.
