Presentazione generale
North Coast 500 and the north-west Highlands
Coastal road of large spaces, cliffs, beaches, passes, isolated villages and open Atlantic landscapes.
Durness, Smoo Cave and Bealach na Bà give the most telling landmarks of North Coast 500 and northwest of the Highlands. Together, they make up a destination where the coastline, mountain reliefs, natural spaces and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 5 to 10 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: long distances and narrow roads. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
World Heritage
Le Flow Country
In the northern Highlands, the Flow Country features a vast landscape of peatlands, dark pools and razed moors. Wetland birds find a valuable refuge there, while the peat accumulated under the steps tells a slow natural work, sensitive especially in changing times, when water and the sky seem to respond.
Cave
Smoo Cave
Smoo Cave surprises by its monumental entrance, its inner water and its rare mixture of marine cave and underground flow. The visit is short but very atmospheric, with humid steps and changing light when opening the cavity.
Cotier village
Durness
Durness gives a very northern face of the Highlands, between clear beaches, cliffs, moors and scattered houses. The village serves mainly as an anchor point to explore Smoo Cave, Balnakeil and the open shores, in an atmosphere of end of road.
Panoramic road
Bealach na Ba
Bealach na Ba is a spectacular, narrow and winding mountain road that climbs to Applecross with immense views in clear weather. It is intended for drivers at ease on exposed roads; in bad weather, the experience can quickly become tense.
