Isle of Mull

Isle of Mull Synopsis

A comprehensive walking guide to the Isle of Mull. The 47 routes described range from 3 to 14 miles long and from short circuits to demanding mountain traverses, but there are few technical difficulties and experienced, properly equipped walkers will find them hugely rewarding. Mull boasts wild, rugged scenery and a spectacular coastline, as well as outstanding opportunities for observing wildlife, including deer, otters, golden and sea eagles, dolphins and harbour porpoise. The book includes walks on the neighbouring islands of Ulva, Gometra, Iona and Erraid, and is also full of information about all the islands' history and their much-studied and endlessly fascinating geology and will appeal to those who know Mull well as much as those who are discovering it for the first time. Step by step route description is accompanied by OS mapping and information on local points of interest. The Isle of Mull is easily accessible from Oban on the west coast of Scotland and will appeal to walkers seeking secluded routes, with inspiring views around almost every corner.
