Three Flowerdale Miniatures walk
The Three Flowerdale Miniatures walk has several different routes to offer, ours followed the main direct path to Flowerdale Forest. All start out by crossing the river that flows into Am Feur Loch with good views of one of the three miniatures, Meall Lochan Chleirich, in the background on a good day as shown in the 1st photo. You will find details of all the walks and a map beside the bridge.
The main path skirts another miniature, Meall a Ghlas-Leothaid, on the right and heads towards the third miniature, Meall Meine.
After a climbing steadily upwards you may get the chance of sighting Slioch to your left before the giant Baosbheinn starts to make an impressive appearance to your right.
The main path winds its way through the valley, eventually taking you alongside Abhainn a Gharbh Choire river.
Abhainn a Gharbh Choire and Baosbheinn. Also converted this one to black & white which I think I prefer.
With dark clouds looming we decided not to go all the way to Flowerdale Forest, instead we decided to take a diversion on the return and try out the yellow trail. This takes you down, reasonably sharply, to bog land beside Abhainn a Gharbh Choire and decent views of some waterfalls. The path became more difficult so we decided to reverse and return to the main path and the walk back down to the car.
