Little Assynt All Abilities Path
Little Assynt All Abilities Path, also described as the Leitir Easaidh All Abilities Path, is a gentler way to get outside in Assynt without turning the day into a hill walk. The surfaced route gives families with prams, mixed ages or different mobility needs an easier way to enjoy the landscape near Lochinver.

Our family take
A quiet walk among Assynt’s lochs makes a useful break in a day around Lochinver or Loch Assynt. Keep the walk as short as your group needs, or follow the link path if everyone wants to go further. Choose somewhere else if children need play equipment or your day depends on indoor shelter.
- Access. The all-abilities route is wheelchair-suitable, but check current conditions if gradients, gates or the surface will decide your visit.
- Facilities. Check that the toilets are available before relying on them; plan food and baby-changing stops elsewhere.

Route and access
The surfaced paths inside the deer fence make this one of the easier Assynt outdoor options to consider with prams, mixed-age groups or less mobile family members.
Start at the Leitir Easaidh, Little Assynt car park. The Assynt Field car park serves the separate Lochant-Sabhail or loop path. A link path joins the two routes, so check the estate map before extending your walk.
Keep to the surfaced paths if you need an easier route: outside the deer fence the land has no paths. If your visit depends on gradients, gates, path width, resting places or the surface after rain, check with the Trust before setting off.

Before you go
Toilets and food
The estate map marks shelters, toilets and fishing piers. Check current toilet availability and accessible-toilet arrangements before travelling if these are essential for your family. The map does not tell you when toilets are open or whether there is baby changing.
Bring food and drinks, and plan a stop in Lochinver or elsewhere along your route if you need a café or baby changing. Check local parking information if charges, surface, capacity or campervan access will affect your plans.
Weather and kit
Fair weather or light rain gives you more freedom to stop and enjoy the walk. In heavy rain, strong wind or poor visibility, choose a shorter village stop or an indoor plan elsewhere. Pack layers and waterproofs as well as water and snacks.
Fit it into an Assynt day
Pair the walk with time in Lochinver or around Loch Assynt. Kylesku or the local beaches can fit another part of an Assynt day, depending on your route and the weather. Keep this as a flexible stop so you can head back when little legs have had enough.
