Balmacara Estate & Woodland Walks
This traditional Highland crofting estate is a diverse mix of Scotland?s most beautiful landscapes. It encompasses croft and farm land, woodland, moorland, villages, coastline, saltmarsh, lochs and offshore islands, and offers stunning views across the water to the mountains of Skye and Applecross.
The estate is also packed with fascinating archaeological and historic features, including two Scheduled Ancient Monuments - the open-air church at Plockton village and the crannog on Loch Achaidh na h-Inich. School groups can be accommodated, with environmental education provided by the Balmacara Ranger Service.
