Cannich is set in the centre of the beautiful area of Strathglass. It is on the doorstep of the national nature reserve Glen Affric, which protects one of the few remaining areas of Ancient Caledonian pinewoods along with a wide range of wildlife. Look out for the red deer, red squirrels, otter, pine martins and much more.

The area is a peaceful place to relax and take in scenery, but for the more active there is the option to participate in many outdoor sports, including: walking, cycling, fishing, riding, golf and canoeing.
