Local Area

Dunbeath is a charming village with plenty to offer visitors. Take a walk along the Dunbeath Strath Trail, a scenic route alongside Dunbeath Water, past Dunbeath Broch (well worth the climb up!) and inland to the white walled cemetery to which coffins had to be carried when it was in use. History buffs will enjoy visiting the Dunbeath Heritage Centre, which showcases the rich history of the area, from the Picts to the Vikings and beyond to the busy days of the herring fishing industry when you could walk across the bay – boat to boat - without getting your feet wet. Or discover the birthplace of author Neil Gunn, and learn more about his work, at the Heritage Centre.

 

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, and fishing in the area. Climbers can face the challenge of Scaraben or Morven, or climb cliffs at Latheronwheel or Ramscraigs (but only if you are experienced!) and there are several walking trails that take you through the beautiful Caithness countryside. For a unique experience, you can even go alpaca trekking with Wardpark Alpacas, located just a short drive from the caravan park.
