Please note - the track from the
main road to Torran Lodge is a private road and is not surfaced
with tarmac. It is fine for most cars but would not be suitable
for vehicles that have lowered suspension or have very low front
spoilers. We would be grateful if you would ensure care is taken
whilst using the road as inappropriate speed will result in
damage to the surface of the road and possibly your vehicle.

Lodge on public transport please contact us and we will be happy to
send you any bus timetables you require.
