Local rangers are based here, should you need advice or information about your planned hiking routes. Durness is just a few kilometres from Cape Wrath, the most north westerly point on mainland Britain. Take the regular ferry and minibus service to Cape Wrath, keeping an eye out for wildlife such as red deer, golden eagles, seals, as well as the unique combination of alpine and arctic plants which grow in these conditions. Once there, enjoy the views along the coast, as well as out to sea, where you might even be able to see as far as the Orkney Islands or even the distant arctic continent.
