There is as much walking as you could possibly want within a 20 mile radius of Ruddyglow Park and can be as gentle or as challenging as you want.

From a gentle strole to the waterfall at Inverkirkaig, the easy but slightly longer walks along the side of Quinaq starting from Ruddyglow Park and coming out at Nedd or from Elphin to Lochinver passing through the valley with Canisp on one side and Suliven on the other to the summit of Sulivan which involves a long walk just to get to the bottom of the mountain and a near vertical climb to the top. Once there, however, the views really will take your breath away. Our two Munro’s; Ben More Assynt and Conival prove hard to resist for some as do Stac Pollaidh, Cul Mor and Cul Beag.

In addition to the mountain walks there are also some truly beautiful coastal routes along the many sea cliffs at Stoer and Drumbeg and along the miles of white sandy beaches that are dotted all along the North Coast.

The Highland Ranger service has a programme of graded walks for all ages and abilities should anyone not want to venture out on their own. For further information on these please call +44(0)1571 844330 or visit the local Tourist Information Centre.

Lochinver has a fantastic Tourist Information Centre.  The Assynt Visitor Centre which is on the Main Street, Open 30th May to September Mon-Sat 10am to 5.30pm. Sunday 10am to 4pm.   This is the main centre for the Ranger Service. They hold a wealth of information on walks and events in the area. The Rangers lead walks, of all types, over the summer months, that are really wonderful.
