Tobermory Lighthouse, Isle of Mull

Start : Tobermory Distillery car park. (PA75 6NR) Grid ref. NM 50433 55063

(S/E) From the car park walk out past Tobermory Distillery onto the main road A848. Turn right (North-East) and walk along the pavement for 500m to the pier.

(1) At the end of the road, pick up a gravel footpath signposted "Lighthouse Path 2km". Follow this path through the trees and along the edge of the water (the Sound of Mull) until you reach the lighthouse.

(2) Return via the same route to start with, but then after 230m, turn right (South-East) onto a narrower earth path which goes uphill. The path takes you in a general South East then South direction for the next 1.5km, up onto higher ground and over a stile to skirt around the edge of Tobermory Golf Course.

(3) After leaving the golf course behind, when you reach a path junction, turn left (South-East). This path leads you to Memorial Road, taking you downhill past a number of houses.

(4) At the bottom of the road, keep right to walk up Back Brae/B882. Where the road bends left (South), follow it round onto Argyll Terrace.

(5) At the end of this pleasant residential street, continue ahead (South-West) onto a quiet lane signposted "Main Street". It bends to the left and leads you down onto Main Street as promised. Turn right (South-West) then almost immediately left (South-East) to return to the car park (S/E)
