In the ancient rugged landscape of North West Sutherland and in particular in the parish of Assynt (a mecca for geologists) you will find a network of walks, paths  and climbs to suit all. From the simple gentle forest paths to the heady heights of our most iconic mountain, Suilven (which towers over Lochinver) you could spend weeks here without walking the same path twice.
