Overview

MEET 0900 – START 1030 - GRADE B - OS Sheets 24/33 – NGR NG806283

Park in Balmacara square. Short walk up the road and into Coille Mor wood, a lovely old woodland, we follow a path which eventually leads to the loch. We walk along side this to pick up a forestry track which will lead us back to Balmacara. This is a lovely walk in an area the Ramblers hardly ever visit.
