This magical tour showcases the Inner Hebrides Islands, also known as the Clyde Islands, off the West Coast of Scotland.
During the week long trip, you will experience the delights of Island hopping between Arran, Islay and Jura along with parts of the Kintyre Peninsula.
Iconic Arran provides an ideal starting point for your tour, complete with dramatic coastline and mountains, green forests, and a deserved reputation for some of the best local produce in the region. Jura is known for being one of Scotland’s wildest islands, heavily populated by deer and scarcely populated by people, it makes the perfect location for long and peaceful walks in nature. Famous for its whisky production, Islay is known for its rich, peaty whiskies with nine distilleries in action today. Not a whisky drinker? No problem as the island has a rich and varied bird and animal life, gorgeous coastal paths to explore and pretty towns to visit.
With good ferry and bus public transport, its easy to combine these islands and also to extend the trip by a few days, in any of the locations if you so choose. A wonderful trip, combining hill and coastal walking, staying in lovely family run guesthouses and sampling the best of the region..
Your evenings will be spent in the company of fellow walkers from all around the world, experiencing quality hotels, offering the very best of Scottish hospitality. All accommodation is on a bed and breakfast basis, with evening meals and picnic lunches easily available either at your hotel, or in the nearby village.
