Yes, we’re biased and yes, we know it’s about as local as you can get, but the shoreline just across the road from Achalochan House really is worth some time exploring.
There’s a couple of ways to go when the tide’s in and you can cross between them to the other side of the River Ose at low tide.
South Of The River
Leave the House and turn right.
Walk down to the main road
Cross the road and turn left.
Walk over Ose Bridge and take a moment to look at the pools beneath.
Continue South (towards Struan) for 100m and then take a right slightly uphill towards Eabost West over the Cattle Grid (there’s a gate if you don’t fancy the Cattle grid).
Continue up the road for a few hundred metres and then cross over the field towards the shore to find a gate.
Alternatively, carry on up the road until the very end, then drop down through the gate on your right and then either drop straight down to the shoreline or bear left (South West) across the field following the coastline for as far as you like!
North Of The River
Leave the House and turn right.
Walk down to the main road
Turn right and cross the road.
Go through the metal gate. Shut and fasten the gate behind you.
Turn left straight on the gravel path then through another gate, shut and fasten the gate behind you. The wire fence should be on you right.
Turn right and then head for the Sea across the field towards the beach.
Go through through a gate. Shut and fasten the gate behind you.
Straight ahead and onto the beach.
The River Ose will be on your Left as you face the Shoreline from the main Road.
