About this walk
Ladhar Bheinn from Inverie is a hard 18.7 km out-and-back walk with 1,140 m of ascent, taking 6 to 8.5 hours. It starts at Inverie, Knoydart (grid reference NG 765 001). It climbs Ladhar Bheinn (1,019 m), a Munro. The start can be reached by public transport.
Knoydart has no road in, so this walk starts with a ferry from Mallaig to Inverie, home of the Old Forge, one of the most remote pubs in Britain. Ladhar Bheinn rises above Loch Hourn with views across to Skye and Rùm.
The route follows the track from Inverie into Gleann na Guiserein, then climbs a long ridge to the summit. Return the same way. Very remote: there's no mobile signal for much of the route, and help is a long way off.
