Divach Falls Walk


(Average user rating3 unrated 3/5)

About Divach Falls Walk

This is a short walk through enchanting oakwoods to Divach Falls. The view of the falls is very pretty and well worth a visit.

Before anyone had seen the Loch Ness monster, the walk to Divach Falls was the main tourist attraction for Drumnadrochit!

How to get there:

Divach Falls Walk can be started from Divach Falls Carpark in Divach Wood which is part of Glen Urquhart. Drumnadrochit, Lewiston, Balnain, and Inverness are the nearest towns or villages.

From the A82 at Drumnadrochit, turn up Balmacaan Road and continue straight along the single track road uphill. After a few bends, at the T junction, turn right and follow the signs for Divach.

There is a bus service from Inverness as far as Drumnadrochit.

We have just returned from a week in Balnain where we visited Divach Falls, they are very beautiful but I agree with Rob Outram that the viewing gallery is in the wrong place as you cannot see the waterfall to its maximum potential. A platform closer to the bottom would be a much better idea. Plodda Falls in Tomich (about 12 miles from Divach Falls) is so much more breathtaking and spectacular, well worth a visit.

A very nice waterfall which I've seen in winter spectacularly frozen and in spring...rushing with water. As a photographer however the viewing platform is in the wrong place for me as I like to get nearer to the bottom of waterfalls.
