Several beautiful walks around the hamlet, including a gentle route along the banks of the River Carron to Strathcarron and Croick Church - famous for the messages etched into the windows by families during the infamous Highland clearances of 1845. A more challenging route leads to the TV relay station on the Applecross tops - a strenuous climb with breathtaking views towards Kishorn. The area is also known for its superb drives, such as Bealach na Ba - or the Pass of the Cattle - which is considered Britain's highest road, at 2,053 feet. From the top, the views of the Isle of Skye, Raasay and the snowy Cuillins are second to none. Holiday cottages in Strathcarron are a stone's throw from many of the Highlands' most iconic locations. Drive through Kyle of Lochalsh, cross the Skye Bridge and spend the day exploring the island, with famous whisky distilleries, remote walks and country pubs. On the coast directly west of Strathcarron, Applecross is a rugged peninsula approached by a high, winding road.
