Moss Wood has a range of facilities. Park on the shore-side where the coast can be enjoyed or at the main entrance, and take a walk up through Moss Wood along the Poetry Trail. A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles. Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest.

Cabins in Glen Roy National Nature Reserve with campfires guide

Overview

Glen Roy National Nature Reserve is famed for its striking “Parallel Roads” slashing across the hillside. While they appear manmade, these are loch terraces that formed along the shorelines of an ancient ice-dammed loch. Exploring the landscape here is a great way to feel nature’s mighty forces and handiwork. The reserve begins three miles (five kilometres) up the glen from Roybridge. There are no formal paths but experienced walkers can tackle a moderate, but lengthy, hike up. The Parallel Roads can be easily seen from the public road, however. While there are no campsites within the nature reserve, Ben Nevis Holiday Park and Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park are both within a 30-minute drive.

When to go

The best time to visit Glen Roy National Nature Reserve is in spring and summer when wildflowers bloom in the woodland. You may also spot red deer, ravens, buzzards and even the occasional golden eagle. Glen Roy is close to major tourist attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness and so the area is often busy with tourists from June through August—try to avoid summer weekends and make bookings in advance.

Know before you go

Glen Roy is best visited with your own transport. The closest public bus stop and train station are both four miles (seven kilometres) away in Roybridge and there is no sidewalk along the road.
You’ll find information panels in the parking lot overlooking the Parallel Roads.
Visitors to Scottish nature reserves should always familiarize themselves with, and take care to follow, the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
