The first road was built in 1828 by the lighthouse commission across the Parph/Durness. This road connects a passenger ferry that crosses the Kyle of Durness with the buildings on the peninsula. Much of the cape is owned by the [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]] and is used as a military training area, including as live firing range. Areas of it are also designated as a [[Site of Special Scientific Interest]], a [[Special Protection Area]], a [[Special Area of Conservation]] and a [[Special Landscape Area]].
