What’s Nearby

Ness Walk is within easy reach of Inverness so there are plenty of things to do.

Things to Do

Here are my top picks for things to do and places to visit.

The Victorian Market is a good option on a dreich day. There is a food hall inside alongwith some smaller independent shops.

Inverness Castle is due to open in late 2025. This will offer visitors a very interactive experience – it’s much anticipated!

Eden Court Theatre and Cinema – just along from Ness Walk is our lovely local theatre and cinema. There’s always something interesting on and the cinema has a fab selection of films, plus the comfiest cinema seats.

The Mustard Seed is along the river from the Ness Walk. It’s a very popular local restaurant with great service and an ever changing menu.

Rocpool Restaurant is also along the river from the Ness Walk. It serves gourmet Scottish food.

Encore Restaurant is beside Rocpool and also offers dishes with a focus on Scottish ingredients

For something smaller or lunch options check out the Victorian Market food hall.

I also love Xoko Bakehouse, just across the road bridge from Ness Walk in the High Street. They have lovely coffee and amazing bakes.
