Corrieshalloch Gorge

Local nameCorrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve
LocationScotland, UK

Corrieshalloch Gorge is situated on the Droma River 20 km S of Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands. It is 1.5 km long, 60m deep and formed at the end of the last ice age by rapid erosion caused by meltwater. The 46m Falls of Measach can be viewed from a viewing platform and a Victorian suspension footbridge. The gorge has been owned since 1945 by the National Trust for Scotland who manage the gorge and surrounding area jointly with Scottish Natural Heritage.Access to the footbridge is via a 300m path from the car park on the South side of the gorge. There is a charge of 2 UK Pound payable using an honesty box at the start of the path. A viewing platform has been installed which projects out into the Gorge.

The bridge was closed to the public in 2010 following the discovery of unacceptable wear and tear, but was reopened in January 2011 after temporary repair work. It was closed again in the winter of 2011/12 for longer term repairs.
