Cara Wood is situated in a beautiful scenic area on the West Coast close to Kyle of Lochalsh and the Isle of Skye. Located just off the A87 and near to Balmacara Bay, the Balmacara National Trust for Scotland (NTS) Gardens and NTS Lochalsh Woodland Park, it is surrounded by a variety of nature and conservational interests. The woodland is easily accessible and consists of diverse broadleaf and conifer trees as well as a significant variety of fungi, flora and fauna. There are two small burns at either end of the woodland, the northernmost one being particularly pretty and well-defined. The terrain rises in the middle of the wood to the head of a mound which can be scaled via a rough path along the western boundary.

Access is taken off the minor public road to the east and there is a full right of access over the track adjacent to the southern boundary.

Sporting rights are included.
