Smoo Cave
Smoo Cave is located at the eastern edge of the village of Durness, on Scotland's most northerly coastline.
It is a dramatic location and on the only primary road in the area, the A838 Durness to Tongue. A trip to Smoo Cave has to be included in any stay in Durness. Set into limestone cliffs, Smoo Cave is quite large - 200 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 50 feet high at the entrance.
The cave is a great tourist attraction for people visiting the north-west coast, and is well worth a visit, if only to see the underground waterfall in the second chamber. The third chamber is only accessible by boat, which you may catch during the summer.
If you've had fun on your family day out to Smoo Cave, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
