View of Meall Lochan a' Chleirich

Highlight • Lake

Right at the start of the trail, and even from the road, there is a stunning view across An Feur-Loch to Meall Lochan a' Chleirich. This is just a taster of the beauty to come as you ride the trail south east towards Loch na h-Oidhche.

Trail to Loch na h-Oidhche

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is a truly atmospheric trail where you can feel right in the middle of nowhere. It climbs steadily from the car park by the main road, all the way up to Loch na h-Oidhche. There are some river crossings so be prepared to get your feet wet and take extra care after periods of heavy rainfall.

Loch na h-Oidhche

Highlight • Forest

Loch na h-Oidhche sits in the Flowerdale Forest under the watchful eye of Beinn an Eoin to the east and to the west, Baosbheinn. It can feel very remote up here so it is a good place to ride to if you are looking for solitude. The scenery is stunning whatever the weather.
