Beinn Eighe is easily accessed from the A896 which runs the length of Glen Torridon from Kinlochewe to Torridon Village. Travelling west along the A896 from Kinlochewe, after 7.5 km look out for a small forestry plantation on the right hand side of the road.

If this parking area is full, a much larger car park can be found 2km further down the road. Please do not park in the passing places.
