AULTBEA

Ullapool 44 miles; Dingwall 65 miles; Inverness 76 miles.

The Wester Ross village of Aultbea is situated on the shores of beautiful Loch Ewe and is perfectly located for exploring the north-west Highlands. The area is rich in attractions, with the renowned National Trust Inverewe Gardens full of exotic plants, just 6 miles away. Beautiful Gruinard Bay, and the remote hamlet at Mellon Udrigal with their striking  sandy beaches and a backdrop of spectacular mountains are nearby. The glorious pass to Applecross and the stunning bay at Badachro are a drive away. Aultbea itself has a local shop and one hotel. Stroll along the beaches, study the bird life or simply relax and watch out for seals, otters and other wildlife - this truly is the perfect base for a relaxing holiday!
