A self-guided walking holiday around the Kintyre Peninsula from Tarbert to Machrihanish.
From £355 per person
The Kintyre Way comprises 102 miles of heather moorland, tranquil glens, deserted beaches and sparkling lochs, and the views from the trail are breath-taking. The trail criss-crosses the remote Kintyre Peninsula, which itself combines all the best Highland ingredients – magnificent scenery, abundant wildlife, and a wealth of history and famous whisky distilleries – with the added attraction of being one of the least-explored corners of Scotland.
From the west coast of Kintyre you’ll spot the islands of Jura, Islay, Cara, Gigha and Ireland itself, while the east coast showcases the superb heights of Arran’s craggy mountains. Grey seals bask on inshore rocks, and over 400 species of birds have been recorded on the peninsula, including cormorants and golden eagles.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
From £355 per person
Weave between Scottish fishing villages as you explore the stunning landscape of northern Kintyre Peninsula on this short walking holiday option. Forests and open moorland line the inland sections of the trail, where you’ll uncover the standing stones of Clachan.
The coastline pathways then offer vast views over the surrounding islands and dip to the stone-walled harbours of local fishing villages, such as Tarbert. Backed by lush forest and looking out over the sandy expanse of its bay, Carradale offers a peaceful final stop on this varied walking holiday.
