Lagnaha Farm
Lagnaha Farm is now a small 30 acre holding with self-catering cottages. The farm is predominantly grazing grassland with areas of young deciduous woodland and garden spaces of native shrubs and wild flowers. we live here with our horses, sheep, dog and cat and an extensive variety of fauna and flora. In the fruit and vegetable garden, we grow seasonal produce along with different native trees and various types of willow for weaving.
To the East, Duror Forest, open hillside and waterfalls on the slopes of Beinn a'Bheithir are a backdrop to Lagnaha. We have safe access to miles of forest roads, tracks, paths and trods. There are lovely routes from the farm for walks and biking through the forest to Ballachulish Village or to Glen Etive, with safe return trips on foot or by bike along the coastal section of the Caledonia Way.
Lagnaha is on the Caledonia Way, Oban to Fort William Sustrans National Cycle track 78 (34 miles). The cycle track takes you north on an easy ride or walk up to Kentallen Hill viewpoint and a little further on to the Hollytree Hotel. Going south you can reach Cuil Bay in 15 mins by bike with its lovely bays and shingle and sand beach.
The beautiful Beinn a'Bheithir mountain ridge has two Munros, Sgorr Dhonuill and Sgorr Dhearg, which sit behind Lagnaha and are accessible on foot from the farm (long walk), or from nearby Ballachulish.
For a shorter uphill walk (263m) with magnificent views to Ben Nevis and to Mull, Ardsheal Hill to the west beckons. The track up starts 50 metres from Lagnaha
Shepherd’s Bothy and Stable Bothy - our self-catering cottages - are accessed via the old stable yard. Well-equipped, warm and comfortable, they are looked upon by the horses across the yard in the stables opposite.
Nearby is the Kentallen and Duror Community Centre, with its monthly Community Cafe and various events, play facilities for children, a dog exercise area, a grass football pitch, plus a garden and barbeque area.
