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.

Have been driving round here for most of my life , scenery is world beating , you cannot go fast , roads are narrow and twisting, so you can appreciate the views, take your time, have a local map so that you can see what you are looking at , you will probably decide to come back and visit one of the points you viewed! Loads of different interesting visits to take in.

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.

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!
