Cnoc Mor and Knockfarrel
Our view
From the car park, turn left down the main street, passing shops on your left. Immediately after the Ben Wyvis Hotel turn right, up a street with a path signpost for Knockfarrel. It becomes a steep lane, and eventually a track; where this bends left, keep ahead up a field edge path to the edge of the woods. Cross a stile and turn left to Touchstone Maze. The maze shows the various rocks of northern Scotland. However, rocks inside damp woodland all grow the same dark lichen cover, making them hard to tell apart.
From the top of the maze, an avenue of stones leads up and to the left. Ignore a path forking up to the right, and keep ahead to join a track at a waymarker. This runs to the left, keeping the same level through a gate with a stile where it leaves the woods. It continues level at first, then rises gently to a four-way signpost in a col. Turn left up a slope dotted with conglomerate rocks to the hill-fort of Knockfarrel.
