PLODDA FALLSPlodda falls has a small carpark set amongst trees just adjacent to the forest track that goes to Cougie.
From here, there are two circular, waymarked walks which go to Plodda falls - the Tweedmouth Walk and the shorter Falls Walk. You can also use connecting forest roads to make longer walks through different parts of the forest and to other areas.

Mammals: Look for signs of animals on either of the walks from here. Plodda wood has more information on the animals here. We have information about Red squirrel, Red deer, Roe deer, Badger and Otter

Birds: Even in the carpark there are many birds around this area - have a walk into the woods to hear and see more.

How to get there:
From the A831, from either Beauly or Drumnadrochit, take the unclassified road signposted to Tomich. Go through Tomich and continue along the bumpy forest track. Plodda falls carpark is 3.5 miles along here.
There is an infrequent bus service from Inverness as far as Tomich.
