Ardessie Falls
These delightful falls are located on the south western shore of Little Loch Broom in the Scottish Highlands near Dundonnell.
The site is a real hidden gem with a walking trail taking you up to a series of picturesque waterfalls.
You can start the walk from the parking area off the A832, just north of the falls. Then climb the footpath heading south along the Ardessie Burn gorge to the falls. It's a lovely spot with the rushing falls and fine views back to Loch Broom.
The path can get quite wet and muddy so a good pair of walking shoes is advised, particularly after wet weather.

Ardessie Falls. A path from the A832 road along the shore of Little Loch Broom leads up the right bank of the Ardessie Burn to the Corbett Sail Mhor & views of the falls add interest to the climb. Apart from fine views over the loch a herd of wild goats are to be seen in this area.

Allt Airdeasaidh. After the relatively flat upper reaches, the burn begins to carve a gorge down to Little Loch Broom at this point.
Ardessie Burn and Sgurr Ruadh. A very fine Graham Top, well worth a visit.
