Poolewe is an extremely attractive village in a stunning location. It lies at the sheltered head of Loch Ewe where the fast flowing and very short River Ewe runs from Loch Maree into the sea. Poolewe serves as a focus for a number of smaller communities in the area. These include Inverasdale on the west side of Loch Ewe and Aultbea on its east side, plus Laide and Mellon Udrigle on the shores of Gruinard Bay.
