Ben Resipole

Ben Resipole, a Corbett, is the highest peak on the Ardnamurchan, and affords spectacular views of Loch Shiel, Loch Sunart, the Small Isles and Skye on a clear day.  The route is strenuous and the path is muddy and indistinct in places.  However, the walk is enriched by the changing vegetation as you climb from Atlantic oakwood to birchwood, to moorland following the ailt mhic chiarain watercourse and then onto the rocky summit.  You can park and start the walk by Resipole Holiday Park, though please check at reception if you leave your car there. You can either return by the same route or via the old mine path and the historic coffin cairn route.
