Dundonnell gives its name to the Dundonnell River, which flows into Little Loch Broom at its estuary just north-west of the village.
There is an independent youth hostel, a farm and a hotel. Many semi-wild sheep roam the area, which is the most inland point of the loch. The Ardessie Falls pour into the loch nearby. Local wildlife includes cormorants, lesser black-backed gulls and song thrushes.
