You are guaranteed to be awestruck with your first sight of the vertigo-inducing Corrieshalloch Gorge and the Falls of Measach.<\/p>\n

One of the most spectacular of its type in Britain, Corrieshalloch provides striking evidence of how glacial meltwater can create deep gorges. \u2028\u2028A Victorian-era suspension bridge spans the gap above the 200-foot-deep chasm, where you can gaze at the long, crashing waterfall.<\/p>\n

In winter, when the River Droma that flows through the ravine is in spate, the experience is electric.<\/p>\n

The National Trust for Scotland manages this national nature reserve, designated for its upland birch wood and geomorphological features, and the charity carries out a range of conservation work to protect the diverse habitats, including the eradication of rhododendron.<\/p>\n

Corrieshalloch Gorge car park<\/h2>\n
A car park with\u00a0information boards detailing a short waymarked walk (described here) and accessible walk are available. There are currently no other facilities, though a\u00a0major new visitor centre is planned for spring 2023.<\/p>\n

Corrieshalloch Gorge viewpoints<\/h2>\n
There are two designated viewpoints on this walk, and many more informal viewpoints. The first, a metal viewing platform (pictured below), is reached after crossing the suspension bridge onto the north side of the gorge. The second viewpoint (and information boards) sits to the south of the gorge and is found later on in the walk.<\/p>\n
