Accessibility
People with disabilities can park at the easy access parking uphill from the main Forestry and Land Scotland car park. From there use the 800m gravel trail to reach one of Achnabreac’s cup and ring marked outcrops.
The trail is wide and gravelled and leads to a viewing board and interpretation panel. The path continues downhill to the second outcrop but the terrain is steeper and less suitable for those with reduced mobility.
The lower outcrop is accessed via a stile.
