Ness Islands

A peaceful place to walk around and relax. Many benches and view points all around the islands 🏝 River Ness flows from each and every corner with a few cascades and small islands. Well lit and tarmacked paths. Victorian bridges and colourful trees. You can have a good walk around from city centre on one side through the Ness islands and bridges to the other side and back. It's an hour walk if you're not stopping but you better dedicate more time as you would likely stop enjoying the scenery.

Fantastic walk through the park. A play area for kids and relatively easy paths for folk of all abilities. An oasis just on the doorstep of a vibrant town that is well maintained! We stopped at the mini golf and had a great time - really recommend for a fun day out with kids of all ages!

A must-visit if you‘re visiting Inverness.. you can walk from town down beside the river on one side, cross the bridge to Ness Islands, enjoy a beautiful walk, cross the bridge on the other side of the Ness Islands and walk back to town on the other side of the river.

Very pleasant and relaxed green space not far from the city centre. Very pretty walk around the island. Highly recommended.

Ness Island offers some really unusual views of the River Ness. It is a special area. We met loads of dog walkers. If you have a dog best kept on a lead but there are areas you can let them off. It was quite busy the day we visited but it was school holidays and it was a lovely day. Take your time to enjoy it is a nice area.

Stunning forested area to walk around in. Even on a slightly drizzly and overcast day like it was for my visit, this was still an incredibly relaxing and scenic place to stroll. The tree cover also helped keep the rain off. Paths are well maintained so no trip hazards, and there are plenty of seats incase your legs get tired.

Beautiful islands in the river,with lots of tall trees,and interesting benches,and even an old fallen tree I named The Log Ness Monster. The suspension bridges to the islands are good too.

Nice for a short walk or relaxing besides Ness River
