Nearby natural attractions
Plodda Falls are spectacular, with two rivers meeting and joining at the falls. There are two circular, waymarked walks which go to Plodda Falls – the Tweedmouth Trail and the shorter Falls Trail. Plodda is surrounded by some of the tallest Douglas firs in Scotland, many measuring over 65 metres. To reach the falls, follow the A831 – from either Beauly or Drumnadrochit – and take the unclassified road signposted to Tomich. Go through Tomich and continue along the bumpy forest track. Plodda Falls car park is 5.5 km along this road.
