The small rural hamlet of Cabrich (latin for - 'Camping') is approximately 11 miles north east of the city of Inverness. It is situated on a gently sloping hill which meets rich farmland.

Size and Attraction

The area of Cabrich stretches roughly 1 mile in either direction and is a well known area for cyclists and runners enjoying a relaxing wind-down. The hamlet consists of just over 30 houses, spread over a wide area of land. This wide area of land is home to many ideal camping spots.

Wildlife

Cabrich has a thriving array of wildlife which includes a herd of deer, peacocks, a swallow breeding area, a lively rabbit population and an abundance of pheasants. And of course there is the expected speckling of sheep in the neighbouring fields!

Walks

Cabrich is also featured in the[1] local walking guide for "the Aird". It describes the area as "a peaceful valley" and rates the walk easy with no special footwear needed.

Local Places of Interest

The walking guide also suggests stopping in at the local Moniack Wineries for some wine tasting and if that gets your appetite going why not stop for a bite to eat at the local restaurant [2] The Old North Inn
