Corrieshalloch Gorge
A box-shaped glacial gorge about 60 metres deep, crossed by a suspension bridge that looks down on Measach Falls as they plunge into the chasm. It's a geological marvel of the Scottish Highlands.
Corrieshalloch Gorge lies about 20 km south of Ullapool, beside the A835 road. Carved by meltwater from glaciers, it is roughly 1.5 km long and 60 metres deep, and is one of the most spectacular box gorges in Britain. It is managed by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) and is a National Nature Reserve.
From the car park, it's about a five-minute walk to an 1874 Victorian suspension bridge. Below it, the 45-metre Falls of Measach roar into the gorge. A little further on is a cantilevered viewing platform.
Entry is free, but parking is charged. The full visit takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
Tips: the bridge holds up to six people at a time. The path is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes.
