Farigaig Carpark

About Farigaig Carpark

Farigaig has a very attractive carpark, set amongst large trees with two pleasant picnic sites, an information centre and a network of waymarked walks.

Two of the walks have Forestry Commission waymarking - the Farigaig Walk and the River Walk. Other walks have been waymarked by the Highland Council.

The 'Foyers Footpath Network' leaflet shows these walks including one that goes over hill ground to Foyers.

 

 

How to get there:

Farigaig Carpark is in Farigaig which is part of Great Glen Forest.
From Inverness, take the B862 to Dores, then the B852 to Inverfarigaig. From Fort Augustus take the B862 and, one and a half miles after Whitebridge, take the B852 to Inverfarigaig.
The carpark is signposted from Inverfarigaig, just along the unclassified road to the Pass of Inverfarigaig.
There is a very infrequent bus service between Inverness and Fort Augustus.
Inverfarigaig, Foyers, Dores, Whitebridge, Fort Augustus, and Inverness are the nearest towns or villages.
