Bilbster Mains is a working farm
straddling the delightful Wick River in a fertile little valley just to the east of that famous wild brown trout water Loch Watten. It is an area of green fields and open spaces yet it is within a fifteen minute drive of either the town of Thurso or the town of Wick. The estate
covers some 1300 acres and guests are welcome to walk in most of the area. The atmosphere is exceptionally tranquil and offers the visitor a relaxing and secluded holiday of a very high standard yet with the freedom to drive quickly and easily to any of the major salmon rivers or trout
lochs within Caithness.Caithness, the most northerly county on the British mainland, is a land of contrasts with vast areas of grouse, moor, deer and forest in its southern reaches and green fertile agricultural land throughout its northern half. In its heart the much publicised Flow Country
lies, where some of the rarest plant and animal life in Britain can be found. The southern border is ringed by the impressive peaks of Morven and the Scarabens. All along the coastline the scenery is dramatic with towering cliffs and secluded coves, and excellent roads follow the coast and
weave across this small county, linking Bilbster Mains with any area in under an hour. |
