This vast mountain stretches 10 kilometres from south to north between the pinewoods of Glen Quoich and the bare reaches of Glen Avon. The western side is rather featureless, being uniform heathery slopes , but the eastern side of the mountain has a magnificent line of corries overlooking the upper part of Glen Quoich and the narrow defile of Slochd Mor which drops northwards to Glen Avon. Between Glen Quoich and Slochd Mor, Beinn a' Bhuird is connected to Ben Avon at the col called The Sneck.
