Explore this large forest with views to the Outer Hebrides

While there are no waymarked trails here, the forest roads of Quinish are great to explore. On a clear day, you will encounter wide open views over the sea to the Inner and Outer Hebrides.

Remember to look down into the hidden glen of the Mingary Burn - you may well spot some of the red deer that call these hills home.
