Kinlochbervie is the ideal centre from which to explore the North West Geopark and enjoy a range of outdoor activities. Kinlochbervie harbour is home to a modern fishing fleet and haven to visting yachts and cruisers. Vistors can watch white fish and shellfish being landed from the trwlers and auctioned at the local market. This is a great area for relaxation, either on one of our lovely sandy beaches or strolling amongst spectacular landscapes, sea views and wildlife. Others can enjoy more energetic activities, such as walking, climbing and loch and sea angling.

The rugged coastline is interspersed with sandy bays and you can walk to the golden sands of Oldshoremore, Polin and Sheigra. A round trip of 9 miles will be rewarded by the stunning sands of Sandwood Bay, guarded at one end by the rock stack, Am Buachaille (The Shepherd).

Amidst the spectacular scenery, the area is rich in wildlife. A wide variety of habitats support many species of birds, including most natably, golden eagle, buzzard, guillemot, puffin, eider, fulmar and many others.

Sea animals include otters, seals, dolphins, porpoises, killer whales and basking sharks.

On land, there are foxes, badgers and the majestic red deer.

Where is the Geopark?

North West Highlands Geopark is located in the far north of the Scotish Highlands. Beginning at The Summer Isles in Wester Ross, near Ullapool, the area takes in around 2000 sq km of mountain, peatland, beach, forest and coastline across west Sutherland and on the north coast.

The eastern boundary of the Geopark extends beyond the settlement of Durness and Loch Eriboll to follow the Moine Thrust Zone, an internationally significant geological structure that helped 19th century geologists work out how the world's great mountain ranges were formed.

At 3,000 million years old, the rocks at the seashore are even older than the hills. View an extraordinary skyline that includes the ridges of Foinaven and Arkle, and classic hills like Suilven and Stac Pollaidh.
