The Isle of Skye is a key visitor destination which is internationally renowned for its spectacular scenery and historical and cultural richness. Broadford lies in the shadow of the Red Cuilin mountains and along the southern side of Broadford Bay, where the other villages included in this trail, Waterloo, Breakish and Ashaig, are located. Views across the bay look to the Isle of Pabay and more distantly to Applecross on the mainland.
The wider area of Broadford and Strath is particularly special and includes many important facets of the Island’s heritage within a small geographical area. These include nine Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), three Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), a National Scenic Area (NSA) and a Special Protection Area (SPA).
Broadford village itself is a bustling centre of activity. With a number of shops, cafés and restaurants, there are plenty of places to pick up everyday supplies, a gift for someone special or to enjoy a great cup of coffee.
