The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Ullapool, Scotland
Ullapool (/ˈʌləpuːl/; Scottish Gaelic: Ulapul, [ˈuɫ̪apʰuɫ̪]) is a town of around 1,500 inhabitants in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands. Despite its small size it is the largest settlement for many miles around and an important port and tourist destination. The North Atlantic Drift passes Ullapool, moderating the temperature. A few Cordyline australis or New Zealand cabbage trees are grown in the town and are often mistaken for palms.

Easy road access and a short sharp uphill walk on mostly good paths to the fabulous saddle of Stac Pollaid (though the actual summit is for experienced climbers). Stunning views, weather permitting, of the Assynt wilderness and Suilven.

A visit to this nature reserve takes visitors "off the beaten track" to explore its magnificent, remote and rugged setting, and a chance to experience some of Scotland's most distinctive mountains of Suilven, Stac Pollaidh and Canisp.

200-foot Gorge.
Reviewed By amcintosh12 - Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom
Visited on a Monday morning in November so only one other car in the car park which was good as it wasn't clear where you were allowed to park. The gorge is stunning with good paths and great locations to view the gorge including the suspension bridge and viewing platform slightly further on. We made it a circular walk by taking the right hand gate from the car park and then turned right when we came back over the suspension bridge from the viewing platform.

A great walk, easy to follow path. Initially following the stream, past a small waterfall. Path mostly flat but boots or sturdy shoes recommended as lots of rocks. We crossed the dry river and then climbed the bank to the right of the caves. This was steep but manageable and a good path. The caves were excellent and a great view point to see the glen. Lots of red deer and a golden eagle on the way. The path back down is the far side of the caves, it’s a more gentle incline and takes you round a crag and drops you to meet the original path. A great walk.

With stunning views and given its geological importance, this is well worth the drive from Ullapool. A generous parking lot shows the way to a wonderfully designed exhibit/display area tucked into the hillside. So much information shared in an interesting and hands-on way. Afterwards, you should walk up the trails to truly appreciate the natural beauty surrounding this reserve. We had a lot of fun even on a wet and blustery day.

This is a fantastic way to spend a few hours - meandering your way up to the summit of this glorious hill. You get amazing views and the choice of paths is wonderful. We did it in the rain so got drenched and our shoes covered in mud but it didn't put us off.
