A well run Site in spectacular
scenery.
- Mr and Mrs Hawes Richards
What's on?
- Sutherland’s Grove is criss-crossed by
colour-coded walks and cycle paths.
- The town of Oban is to the south, where
you can take a ferry to one of the Western
Isles. The Isle of Mull’s main town is
Tobermory, the backdrop for the children’s
TV series Balamory. It is also home to
Torosay Castle and Gardens.
- The Isle of Kerrera is just off Oban. There is a lovely six-mile walk around the south of the island.
- Seals and cormorants, and even stags on the hillsides can be seen from a cruise on the sea loch, Etive.
- Dunnstaffnage Castle overlooks the Bay. There are walks in the area, though the gatehouse is reserved for the Captain of
Dunnstaffnage.
- The Scottish Sealife Centre is less than
three minutes’ drive from Site. A busy
rescue centre for seals, it also has an
otter creek.
- The beautiful Port Appin has ferries to
Lismore which is good for walking and
cycling.
- Trains to Fort William travel through the
mountains and connect with the Jacobite steam train to Mallaig in the summer.
- The new Oban to Fort William Cycleway will pass the Site. Part of it is already open.
- Take a flight from Oban Airport to the
islands of Tiree and Colonsay. A float
plane also operates between Glasgow
and Oban.
- You can leave your unit on Site while you visit the lovely Scottish islands. Please
contact the Site for more details.
- Crarae and Kinlochlaich Gardens are both
worth a visit.
