About River Affric Carpark

The River Affric carpark is at the end of the tarred road in Glen Affric. It is set in the heart of the Affric hills between Loch Beinn a 'Mheadhoin and Loch Affric.

Stunning views, waymarked walks, long-distance and hill walks available from this carpark make it the most popular one in Glen Affric.

You can also download the Glen Affric leaflet (PDF 4Mb) which has a map of the glen and details of the walks here.

What's of interest

Chaffinches have become very tame at River Affric - they may try to share your lunch! Look out for crested tits and Scottish crossbills which occasionally visit too.
