Munsary Peatlands - map and directions
Directions
From the A9, turn off at Latheron onto the A895 towards Thurso. After approximately 6 miles you reach Achavanich where you should turn right onto a minor road towards Lybster. Approximately 600m along this road turn left onto a track alongside Loch Stemster. Follow this track for approximately 3 miles until you reach Munsary Cottage. From here you can see the entire reserve and can walk a short way to explore the peatland habitat. Please note that the track leading from Loch Stemster to the Munsary reserve is extremely rough and is only suitable for robust four-wheel drive vehicles. Munsary is open to visitors at any time. However, you should be aware that the terrain is rough and potentially dangerous. There is a high risk of sinking in soft areas of bog and a danger of being caught out by rapidly changing weather. For these reasons, you should not visit the site alone, but should have at least one other person with you.
