Eagles Eyrie and Summit walk


(Average user rating5 unrated 4.7/5)

About Eagles Eyrie and Summit walk

An adventurous route high into the forest, linking to a footpath out to the top of Beinn Lora itself.

As a reward, magnificent views are to be had in almost all directions. You can see the islands in the west and southwest, and the impressive peak of Ben Cruachan at 1126 metres above sea level to the southeast.

 

How to get there:

Eagles Eyrie and Summit walk can be started from Beinn Lora car park in Beinn Lora which is part of Barcaldine. Benderloch is the nearest town or village.

The car park is situated next to Ledaig Motors filling station in the centre of Benderloch on the A828 Oban to Fort William road.

This is the start of two woodland walks with steep climbs but fantastic views over the Lynn of Lorne.

You can park here for access to the open hill and walk to the summit of Beinn Lora.

A beautiful view, well worth the walk, with lots of interest on the way up.

While the path up through the woods to the summit is quite steep, for not a huge amount of effort on a clear day you get a fantastic panoramic view of the west coast. Once clear of the wood, the path up to the trig point can be a bit wet and muddy. The wood on the way up is pretty too. A cracking wee walk.
