Venue Description

Corrieshalloch Gorge is designated a National Nature Reserve in recognition of the gorge and the surrounding woodland. This mile-long canyon, through which the River Droma rushes, takes its name from the Gaelic for ‘ugly hollow’. But that’s as far from the truth as can be. Corrieshalloch is one of the most spectacular gorges of its type in Britain and provides striking evidence of how glacial meltwater can create deep gorges. Just a short drive from Ullapool and only an hour from Inverness, this is the perfect place for a family adventure! The Corrieshalloch Gateway to Nature Centre is now open, offering new facilities including toilets, electric car charging and a takeaway café. Starting from either car park, the paths will bring you to a Victorian suspension bridge, where you can gaze down over a series of crashing waterfalls.
