Guide to Ullapool
Walking & Hiking
There are many walks
which are so varied you decide what to include mountains,
rocky coasts or long inland footpaths. The choice of mountains
to climb is enormous and the area has a good portion of
the finest summits in the North-Western Highlands. A few of the most popular walks and munroe's are noted below. If you have completed any of these or others why not send us a review of the day we can add that here or to our Ullapool Blog for others to benefit from.
Ullapool Hill 
To get the most wonderful
views of Loch Broom and the village a hike up the Ullapool
hill is a must. It starts on North Road (A835) near the Far Isles
Restaurant, just north of the Pottery and school where there is a sign "Ullapool hill path". Parking is limited but plenty of places nearby you can park or if staying in the village of course you can just walk to the start. Allow 2 hrs to get to the top (300m or 900ft)
& back. You can also make a longer circular walk (about
3 hours) by turning right after leaving the top of the hill
towards Loch Achall, then return by Rhidorroch estate road.
Details & map available at Tourist Information Centre.. Rated: Easy Walk
Stac Pollaidh 
The small mountain
of Stac Pollaidh with breathtaking views out over the Inverpolly
Nature Reserve and Suilven is 1800 ft high. Allow at least
2 hours. Take rocky and well-defined path which at first
glance seems to be heading right up the front of Stac Pollaidh,
you have a choice near the of a short and steep scrambles
up to the narrow ridge, or a longer but less steep path.
Ben More Coigach
From Ullapool head north
towards the Coigach and Assynt mountain ranges to find Ben
More Coigacg. Part of the lower slopes is RSPB Reserve,
the views extend out to the summer Isles and on a really
clear day from the west the outer Hebrides can be seen.
The ridge of Ben More Coigach stands almost 2500 feet high
and runs for several miles.
An Teallach
An Teallach (1380m) is about 5 miles from Ullapool and has lots of airy scrambling. If you like something a little challenging and have a head for heights this may be the one for you, it towers above Little Loch Broom and as such is a a well known landmark
- to traverse all the pinnacles(including the pinnacles of Corrag Buidhe) directly involves rock climbing
up to Difficult in standard. Various paths avoid the pinnacles
on the south side and can be accessed from Dundonnell . The last of the pinnacles is Lord Berkeleys
Seat where if you feel brave enough you can sit with your
legs hanging over the drop. In winter the mountain can be
considered out of bounds to the inexperienced. Allow at
least 8 - 9 hrs Two munroes rated challenging
