Craigmonie Access Point
 

There is no carpark at the entrance to Craigmonie woodland, instead it is better to use the carpark opposite the Gallery in Drumnadrochit and walk to Craigmonie. The access point is easily found next to two big Wellingtonia (or giant redwood) trees on either side of the farn track. From here, there are two waymarked walks - the Craigmonie walk and the Milton walk - you can also link these to paths in the neighbouring Balmacaan Wood (Woodland Trust Scotland) to make longer walks.

Walking trails

How to get there:

Craigmonie Access Point is in Craigmonie which is part of Glen Urquhart. Drumnadrochit, Lewiston, and Balnain and Inverness are the nearest towns or villages.

From the A82 at Drumnadrochit, turn up onto Pitkerrald Road. After 200 metres, take the left hand fork onto a rough farm track, then another left hand fork soon after. Craigmonie woodland is another 200 metres along here on the west side of the track., There is no parking, so it is better to park in the village carpark, adjacent to the A82 and follow these directions on foot., There is a bus service between Inverness and Fort Augustus which stops at Drumnadrochit.
