Urquhart Bay Wood

Description

Urquhart Bay Wood is situated on the banks of Loch Ness (Grid reference: NH519297) and is one of the best examples of surviving ancient wet woodland in Europe. The site has two main circular trails that are reached by a public right of way. The shorter loop trail is the more accessible, and although neither route affords an open view of Loch Ness, the paths follow the River Enrick and meander through lovely woodland. Urquhart Wood is well worth a visit and is just a couple of minutes drive from Drumnadrochit where many cafe's, museums and other conveniences can be found.
