Mountains
For the more adventurous some of the most enjoyable hill walking in Britain can be found in the area. Unlike some of the more popular hills these are remote, quiet hills where you are unlikely to meet another living soul.

The ridge of hills and mountains stretching south begins ½ km from The Lazy Crofter Bunkhouse and includes the magnificent Foinaven (2980 ft/ 908 m) and Arkle (2583 ft/787 m). While to the east lie the spectacular Ben Loyal (2504 ft/ 763 m) and of course Ben Hope (3040 ft/ 927 m), the most northerly Munro.

Sandwood Bay is often described as the most magnificent beach in the UK. It offers over two kilometers of wide pinkish sand backed by huge sand dunes and a loch, and is flanked by cliffs and an impressive sea stack. It faces north west, straight into the teeth of the worst the North Atlantic can throw at it. One of the things that keeps Sandwood Bay so very special is that no one gets here without expending some real effort first.
