This is a week of touring the Islands and Highlands of the Scottish west coast by a series of walks and sea journeys that give an unforgettable and varied experience of this wild, unique landscape.
Our walks will include a mix of island and coastal routes designed to take in the best views and most dramatic locations this area has to offer.
​
This trip may also suit the keen train-traveller, as there is an excellent mainline service to Oban. The Alexandra Hotel has a prominent position on the seafront, with attractive sea-facing gardens and an indoor pool.
​
Our walks will be at ‘easy to moderate’ level, which means we will cover around 10-14 km (6-9 miles) on a full walking day, with the occasional stretch of ascent and descent and for the most part on good tracks.
​
Short ferry trips give access to Kerrera Island, but the longer trip across the Firth of Lorn to Mull gives excellent views of Lismore Island and the Morvern Peninsula.
​
The cost for this holiday in single, en-suite accommodation is £1250 in a standard room and £1350 in a seaview room.
