Walking

One of the greatest assets of Kintyre and Argyll is the access and amount of walks available to the public from actual documented and official walks through the forestry and along the coasts but also small 'unofficial' walks that enable to you experience the rich diversity of the land and its views.

Walking can be accomplished by occasional walkers, experienced hikers and ramblers or by families with children of all ages from the short walks along the sea front at Tarbert perhaps to the Columba Hotel for lunch, or up passed Tarbert's Royal Castle carrying on for 6 or 7 miles to Skipness, or only a short drive up to Lochgilphead and walk alongside the Crinan Canal up to the Cairnbaan Hotel where you can have a spot of lunch as you watch the boats go by.

Kintyre is jam packed with walks up to view points, through nature reserves and protected woodland, along stunning sandy coastlines and just before Campeltown the high sand dunes and high waves of Westport signify the great surfing waters here.

Why not pop into the Tourist Information Centre in Tarbert and get some more information on the walks available. There is something for everybody. For more information why not visit the walking web sites under the woodland and walks section.
