The group of hills comprising of Foinaven and the Reay Forest areas are exceptionally wild and remote and include the Corbetts: Foinaven, Arkle, Meall Horn, Meallan Liath Mhic Dhughaill, Ben Hee, Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh. This is a great area, well worth exploration and much less frequented than either Ben Hope or the more popular Assynt hills. The group occupies a huge area between the A838 Lairg to Durness road in the west and the A836 Lairg to Tongue and Altnaharra to Hope roads in the east with several main access points around these roads.
A track between Allnabad, on the Altnaharra to Hope road, and West Merkland traverses the range between Ben Hee and Beinn Direach over the Bealach nam Meirleach providing good access to the southern hills.
The A838 gives access to Ben Hee from West Merkland; Meallan Liath Mhic Dhughaill from Kinloch; Arkle and Meall Horn from near Achfary; Foinaven from Gualin House between Rhiconich and Durness; and Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh from either Rhigolter or Polla.
