点评:Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve was set up in 1951 and was the first nature reserve in the UK. It has some of the oldest Caledonian woodland in Scotland. Golden eagles and ravens soar above its mountain peaks and the ancient pinewoods are home to Scotland's most secretive wildlife, pine martens, wild cats and the unique Scottish crossbills.
We were told to visit the Beinn Eighe Visitor Centre to collect leaflets for the different walks but all the display holders were empty. So we then went to Coille na Glass-Leitir car park just a two minute drive away from where a number of the walks set off.
We went on the mile 'Woodland Walk' which takes you through ancient Caledonian pinewoods and has great views over Loch Maree.
From the car park you go under the small stone bridge, then over a wooden bridge. The signposting here is a bit confusing, but go up the hill. It's quite steep and the path is uneven in places, so you need good footwear, but if you take your time, you will be fine. There are a number of benches where you can rest and enjoy the magnificent views. It took us just under an hour.
翻译:贝恩艾格国家自然保护区成立于1951年,是英国第一个自然保护区。这里拥有苏格兰最古老的喀里多尼亚森林。金雕和渡鸦在山峰上翱翔,古老的松林是苏格兰最隐秘的野生动物——松貂、野猫和独特的苏格兰交嘴雀——的家园。
我们被告知要去贝恩艾格游客中心收集不同步道的宣传单,但所有的展示架都空了。于是我们去了科伊勒·纳·格拉斯-莱蒂尔停车场,距离许多步道的起点只有两分钟车程。
我们沿着长达一英里的“林地步道”漫步,穿过古老的喀里多尼亚松林,欣赏马里湖的壮丽景色。
从停车场出发,穿过一座小石桥,然后再经过一座木桥。这里的路标有点让人困惑,但还是往山上走吧。这条路相当陡峭,有些地方路况不平,所以你需要一双好鞋,但只要你慢慢走,就没问题。沿途有很多长椅可以休息,欣赏壮丽的景色。我们花了不到一个小时就走到了。
