Applecross

Coastal scenery

Attraction Introduction

Applecross, located in the northwest Highlands of Scotland, is a remote and scenic small coastal village. The journey there typically involves the famous Bealach na Bà mountain road, offering a breathtaking blend of mountain and sea views. While the village itself is small, the coastline and distant mountain vistas create a typical Highland landscape. It's better suited as a scenic stop on a Highland drive than as a city destination.

How to Get There

Getting to Applecross usually requires driving or hiring a car, taking about 2–3 hours from Inverness or Skye. The mountain roads leading to the villages are winding and steep, so drivers need to be careful. Public transportation is extremely limited, and relying on buses is not recommended. The villages are clustered together, and the coastal area can be reached on foot from there.

Travel Tips

Road conditions are challenging, and visibility is low in rainy or foggy weather. Facilities are basic; advance planning for resupply is recommended. On clear days, the view is expansive and the scenery is more pronounced.
