River Beauly and Lovat Bridge walk

After a long lie in at the Struy Inn we had a good breakfast and left at 10am to do a 5 mile walk along the River Beauly and up to Lovat Bridge and back.  We had originally planned this as a run but our legs were just too tired after the efforts of the past few days (well I speak for myself at least!).


This was a level walk so wasn't too challenging and again the scenery was lovely. The River Beauly in particular is very picturesque and peaceful and fishermen were positioned at various points. The woodlands that we skirted and passed through were lush and the woodland floor was carpeted with bluebell, gorse and cow parsley.
The walk took us around 2 hours as we were going at a reasonably relaxed pace. Following that we headed to the Beauly Gallery for a cuppa and then on home.
