View of Upper Loch Torridon

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This section of road can be busy, but is less hilly than the preceding sections around the Applecross coastal road and has fantastic views over to the Torridon mountains on a good day. It can be included in a larger loop from any of Achnasheen, Kinlochewe, Lochcarron, or Shieldaig, or as a short trip round to Torridon itself.
