Overview

This is a lovely local walk taking in some of the finest viewpoints in the city. Craig Phadrig forest is the site of an Iron Age fort built over 2000 years ago; we will visit this first where there are beautiful views over the Beauly Firth. We will then make our way downhill to another viewpoint on a minor road, with particularly nice views of Ben Wyvis. The walk is mostly on forest paths and a minor road, and includes a couple of short ascents.

Meet at the Kingsview Christian Centre carpark. Please try to park alongside the carpark on the road rather than in the carpark itself, though if it quiet it shouldn't be a problem to use the carpark. Stagecoach buses 2 and 3 run to this area of Inverness (Kinmylies). Please refer to the Stagecoach website for more details. The nearest bus stop is Kinmylies, Balnafettack Road.
