Kinlochewe

Little village with a National Nature Reserve

Apart from offering services to passing travellers, the tiny village of Kinlochewe is the gateway for the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve, whose pinewood-clad mountains are home to thriving bird life - including pine martens, buzzards and golden eagles.

A seasonal visitor centre on the A832 north of Kinlochewe has info on local hikes. These include an easy mile-long route from it’s doors and a 4-mile loop up to a windswept cairn for fine views over Loch Maree.

Food & lodging

The Kinlochewe Hotel (peak season twin: £135) is the main option, with a range of mid-priced and budget accommodation and bar food.

During the day look out for the Whistle Stop Cafe for cheap slap-up meals in the old village hall.
