Departure from Argyll and Bute
To pass the time before catching the ferry, take a short walk with views of Torosay Castle and Craignure Bay. Access to the forest path is public and the route is easy. The reward: superb views of the bay during the walk and a view of Craignure Castle.

The first objective of the walk is Loch Tearnait, a lovely mountain loch. The second objective is to stay on a wide, dry path… essential after several days of incessant rain in this part of Scotland. Thethird objective is to explore the slopes to the south of the local summit.

Departure from Highland
The walk starts in the middle of nowhere. It is advisable to park at the quarry. The proposed walk is deliberately limited to a “good”, motorable forest track and offers lovely views of the loch, the opposite shore and, towards the end, the junction with the central part of Loch Sunart.The end point is a slipway for forestry vehicles.Please note: the route is not circular … you’ll need to allow for at least double the distance to get back to your car.

Departure from Highland
The magnificent Ariundle Nature Reserve offers the chance to explore a forest of centuries-old oak trees. Information boards indicate that this forest was already mentioned in the very first recorded censuses, probably dating back to the15th century. The two sections through the Strontian River valley are also a feast for the eyes.
