We are the Inverness Young Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Holm Dell Woods and Torbreck Woods to the south of Inverness make for a lovely evening walk through gentle woodland. We'll start at the car park before skirting the Ness Castle estate along woodland paths, eventually ending up at the start of Torbreck Woods. These woods form part of the South Loch Ness Trail, a 59km route from Fort Augustus to Inverness. We'll explore the initial section of woods before returning back through Holm Dell Woods towards the car park, via a slightly different route on the way back.
Terrain: Fairly well-maintained woodland paths and grassy field to start. Torbreck Woods' paths are narrower and there are lots of tree roots crossing the paths, so care should be taken not to trip. Depending on the weather it could be muddy so wear sensible walking shoes.
Lift share: The walk leader is happy to give lifts and depending on numbers, if others are willing to car-share that would be most helpful.
Car park on Torbreck Dores road, about 300 yards after the turn into Torbreck Dores from the Essich Road and just before a small bridge over the burn. Please note that the car park is fairly small. Unfortunately the car park doesn't have a name, but the What3Words and Google Maps pin drop are as follows: What3Words: ///latches.strutting.celebrate Google Maps pin drop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8tvpkTDYAkiaj5QP9
