If you want to bag a few Munros (peaks over 3000ft) there are nine to choose from north and south of the famous Torridon Mountain Range, including Beinn Alligin, Liathach and Beinn Eighe.

Sea kayaking, with instruction or for hire, walking, climbing and guiding as well as mountain-biking, archery and adventure activities tailored to your requirements are available in the village with Shieldaig Adventures.

River & sea kayaking, shooting, archery, scrambling, are available through Torridon Activities.

Fishing and boat trips can usually be arranged locally. The River Carron on the Attadale Estate can be fished and on the nearby Ben Damph Estate fishing and deer stalking with a ghillie can be arranged.

Golf is available in Lochcarron and Gairloch, both within easy reach and well worth a visit.
