Cape Wrath Trail

The Cape Wrath Trail is one of the most challenging long distance routes in Britain. Starting at Fort William, the trail covers some 200 miles of the remote north west of Scotland, finally finishing at the Cape Wrath lighthouse, the most northerly point of mainland Britain.

Due to the remoteness of the area, there are very few facilities on route, although there are several bothies offering protection from the elements. Guidebooks for the route exist, and suggest a fit and experienced walker should be able to complete the route in less than 20 days.
