The road through Torridon is several miles long and there are designated car parks as well as many smaller places to stop and enjoy the views. Torridon is also on the North Coast 500 – one of the best road trip routes in the world.

Please be aware that the sections of single track road contain passing places to allow vehicles to pass, whether they are on-coming or from behind you if they are travelling faster. Stay on the left-hand side of the road and either go into the passing place if it’s also on the left, or stop opposite it, so that traffic can pass safely by.

The village of Torridon, also known as Fasag, has a community centre with arts and crafts on display and for sale.

The Torridon shop and café is a great place to relax with a coffee and snack.

There are grazing livestock at this site, so please keep your dog under close control and let the animals have some space. Thank you for showing consideration for the safety of our livestock and wildlife.
