About Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin Carpark
This is a beautiful and secluded carpark on the bank of Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin.
Set amongst Scots pine and birch trees, with a lovely view of the loch, it is a popular place for a picnic and some peace and quiet.
There are no waymarked walks but you can have a short walk along the lochside or up the steep track along the Allt na Imrich for stunning views.
In early summer, listen for the haunting, courtship calls of red-throated divers on the loch.
You can also download the Glen Affric leaflet (PDF 4Mb) which has a map of the glen and details of the walks here.
