Lochinver (Loch an Inbhir in Gaelic) is a village on the coast in the Assynt district of Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. A few miles northeast is Loch Assynt which is the source of the River Inver which flows into Loch Inver at the village. There are 200 or so lochans in the area which makes the place very popular with anglers. Lochinver is dominated by the "sugar loaf" shape of Caisteal Liath, the summit peak of nearby Suilven.

A fantastic campsite on one of the most beautiful parts of the NC500. We've stayed here twice and love the facilities and friendly atmosphere at the campsite, just behind the fantastic beaches with lovely walks. Can be busy, so book!

This is a lovely woodland area on the north west side of Lochinver town. Access is by one of two carparks or a gate opposite the primary school. It isn't a particularly large wood but we spent a good 90 minutes walking along the well defined paths and visiting the viewpoint and pebble beach. Part of the attraction is the varied landscape within the woodland area with small hills, rocky outcrops and little streams. The trees are mixed deciduous and conifer and are well established with an extensive variety of mosses and other plant life growing around and up the trees. It is a very engaging place and ideal for a shortish walk.

How refreshing to see a path laid out for folk with different mobility issues (and in the heart of the Highlands). This is a lovely area with a network of well maintained paths ideal for a walk of perhaps an hour or two. The scenery is varied with lochans, streams, moorland and wooded areas. There are a couple of lovely little bothies well placed to shelter from the rain or enjoy a picnic. At the time of our visit the toilet facilities were locked on account of the Covid 19 problems. There is car parking for perhaps ten cars at the main entrance. If you are looking for a shortish, safe and easy walk in a lovely environment this should suit you very well. There is no charge to enter but donations are welcomed.

This was the highlight of the NC500 without doubt. A stunning white sand, blue water beach and we stayed a the lovely campsite next door. This had a super little shop and amazing fish and chip shop. Would definitely return!
