About Craig Phadrig

Craig Phadrig is a prominent hill overlooking Inverness, the Beauly Firth and the inner Moray Firth. There are the remains of an historical Pictish Fort on its summit.

The open nature of the woodland which contains a variety of trees, along with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside make Craig Phadrig the ideal place for an enjoyable woodland walk right on the doorstep of Inverness.

How to get there:

Inverness is the nearest town or village.

There is a regular bus service that runs from Church Street in the middle of Inverness to the Scorguie and Balnafettack areas - which are adjacent to Craig Phadrig Wood.

By car, this wood is only 5-10 minutes from Inverness city centre.

Breathtaking place, used to go here a lot when i lived in Inverness many years ago. The forest floor is mossy and bounces underfoot, and the Pictish Fort remains are fascinating! Amazing views and beautiful place to watch a sunset, especially in winter.
