Local Attractions
Smoo Cave - 10.9 Miles (17.4 KM)
Smoo Cave is located in Durness at the eastern edge of the village, and is found along the A838 being the main road here in the area. The cave is situated in limestone cliffs and is quite substantial, it is 200 feet long, 130 feet wide and at the entrance is 50 feet high but lowers as you go deeper into the cave. The cave can be accessed by steps or there is a steep path leading to it depending on where you park and enter from. It is an amazing natural attraction with three chambers the main chamber opens from a sea inlet, the second smaller chamber has a hole above where the river Allt Smoo cascades down about eighty feet, if you cross over the river via the footbridge and climb up to the ledge you get good views of the waterfall, which makes quite a thunderous noise. The third chamber is accessed by a small boat trip across the pool of water in front of the waterfall and then you continue by foot, this area can only be accessed during the summer months. Thee is no charge to access the caves but there is a small charge to take the boat. You can explore the caves by yourself or take a guided tour, tours are informative and the guides are friendly and passionate and will happily answer your questions. Smoo Cave is atmospheric and an interesting cave with amazing rock formations and a breath taking waterfall. Once you have finished exploring the caves take a walk up the cliffs and enjoy the scenery from here and see where the waterfall enters the cave. Smoo Cave is a must if you are in the area, a fantastic free attraction.
