With Badachro as your starting point there are places to visit in and around Gairloch for a bit of relaxation and some stimulating discoveries.

Gairloch Heritage Museum

fascinating collection of local history - from the archaeology of our ancestors to more recent social history

Inverewe Gardens

Sir Osgood Mackenzie's garden masterpiece - a prodigious collection of plants and trees - now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland

Red Point

There are two beaches at Red Point - near and far - while these are perfect starting points for walks along the coast or between the two, they are in their own right two of the nicest spots in which to do absolutely nothing but sit around. The beach at far Red Point is the start for a cliff-top walk to Craig Youth Hostel and Diabaig, seven miles away.

Sand River Trail

a walk around the remains of ancient settlements near Big Sand. The accompanying booklet is available in the Tourist Information Centre and other locations.
