Goatfell Footpath Improvements

The repair of the 640m section of path running from the top of Fionn Choire up to the summit of Cir Mhor on Goatfell. This section is fairly robust but is suffering from erosion and is gullied in places; this is leading to loss of soils, vegetation and line definition. The planned work is to stabilise the erosion and divert water from the damaged areas, infill the gullied sections, and create a single line of access to prevent further erosion, making it more pleasant for the public, assist access and conserving the area’s biodiversity. The route is used by all types of walkers, from day trippers to mountaineers and is also used to access rock climbs on the Cir Mhor cliffs.
