Seasons

Year round but arguably at its best in Spring and Autumn.

Centres

Access through Oban or Fort William. Bases include Tobermory, Craignure and Bunessan on Mull; Strontian in Ardgour; Salen and Lochaline.

Difficulty

Varied. Lengths from half to full days, with coastal and hill walks to the summits. It is remote so the ground can be fairly rough.

Must See

Iona, trips to the islands off Mull (Staffa and Fingal's Cave). Ardnamurchan Point is the farthest point west in mainland Britain.
