Things to do at Rockpool House |
|
From our doorstep there are numerous walks, from a quick stroll on the beach to a full day’s strenuous climb up Beinn Resipol, a Corbett and one of the highest peaks on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. It affords spectacular views of Loch Shiel, Loch Sunart, the Small Isles and Skye on a clear day.
There are opportunities for both road cycling and mountain biking in the area, from gentle short pleasure rides to long distance marathons to highly technical mountain rides. There are eleven off-road cycle routes in the Sunart Oakwoods alone, ranging in length from 3km to 64 km. Similarly, the Nevis Range and the surrounding area of Lochaber offer a wide range of mountain bike trails.
There are some excellent waters for sailing, kayaking and canoeing. Sheltered freshwater and sea lochs provide ideal conditions for exploring inlets, small, inaccessible islands and getting close to coastal and aquatic wildlife. Couple these experiences with fabulous scenery and you will find it is one of the best ways to enjoy the splendours of the Highlands.
There are opportunities to play golf “highland Style” at Traigh Golf Course, the most Westerly golf course on the UK mainland, which is fringed by a series of sandy beaches and offers stunning views to the Hebridean islands of Eigg and Rum, and the Cuillin of Skye.
The area is blessed with an abundance of wild life and otters, seals, deer, pine martens, sea eagles and golden eagles are spotted regularly. Porpoises are often spotted in the loch near the house, whilst slightly further away, whales and dolphins can often be seen.
There are a number of local artists and from April to October in all the local villages you will find produce and craft stalls. Not far from us are Resipole Studios, a contemporary art gallery with on-site artist studios, where Scottish artists develop, exhibit and promote their work.
