The Kintyre Way

Sandra Bardwell and Jacquetta Megarry

The Kintyre Way is a fully waymarked trail that criss-crosses the Kintyre peninsula for 87 miles (140 km) from Tarbert to Dunaverty Bay, near the Mull of Kintyre. Famous as Scotland only ‘mainland island’, Kintyre has rugged coastlines facing west to the Atlantic and east to the Firth of Clyde. You walk past castles, abbeys and prehistoric remains, along beaches, moorland and high on forestry tracks with glorious views over Arran and towards Ireland. You will enjoy many wildlife sightings in this peaceful peninsula.
